bedfordyeoman Posted 18 November , 2004 Share Posted 18 November , 2004 Steve, The 1st took over in the Neuve Chappelle sector on 1st December. No big actions but, because the two front lines were so close together, a series of raiding parties by each side. Assume that's why your chap was killed but retrieved. The CO was also wounded, but by one of his own officers who thought that the Germans were carrying out a raid ! The Bedfords moved out of the front line on the 5th and rested up at a girls school in Bethune. Battalion diary may give more information. All the best David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
