5-7-16
Battalion remained all day in Carnoy & Caftet Wood. Weather changeable with intermittent rain.
7th (S) Battalion Bedfordshire Regt.
It is difficult for the Commanding Officer to add to the great praise bestowed on the Battalion by the higher commands. While we all deplore the loss of our brave comrades fallen in the great fight, the knowledge that the Battalion won its objective in spite of stubborn resistance encountered and with such steadiness, determination and gallantry, is a great compensation for those who have fallen on the slopes of the POMMIERS REDOUBT.
It is a great honour to command a Battalion which has shown such fine fighting qualities and the Commanding Officer, in tendering his heartfelt thanks to Officers, Non-commissioned officers and men, feels sure that whenever called upon the Battalion will live up to the high reputation it has earned on the field of battle.

16-7-16
Battn. remained in same position. Orders were received to hold ourselves in readiness to attack in conjunction with 11th Royal Fusiliers the village of Guillemont. As the leading Companies were moving off at about 2 pm to get into their battle positions the time was postponed and eventually the orders for the assault for that day were cancelled.
17-7-16
Fresh orders were received regarding the assault on Guillemont. 53rd Brigade were to co-operate in the attack, their objective being the north eastern half of the village. At the same time a Battalion of Bantams from the 53rd [sic 35th?] Division were to attack Ginchy from the edge of Delville Wood. These orders were again cancelled but Battn. remained under orders to move at a moment's notice to battle positions previous to assaulting Guillemont. Middlesex & Northampton Regts relieved by 2 Battns. of Bantams from 35th Division.
18-7-16
At about 3 pm it was rumoured that the 54th Brigade would not be called on to attack Guillemont owing to the heavy casualties it occurred on July 1st and in the re-taking of Trones Wood. Enemy's artillery very active throughout the day. 4 pm the Battn. cookhouse was shelled and some casualties sustained. Left Maricourt very suddenly at about 9 pm and proceeded to Bois des Tailles (North) taking over same camp as before.

18th Division Fourth Army No.266/1 (G)
The part which the 18th Division has taken in the battle of the SOMME reflects the highest credit on every Officer, Non Commissioned Officer and Man, and I desire to tender to one and all my gratitude and congratulations.
The gallantry and determination displayed in the assault of the enemy's first system of defence, together with the night attack on, and final capture, of TRONES WOOD, were feats of arms which will rank amongst the best attainments of the British Army. Nothing could have been finer than the behaviour of those men of the West Kent Regt. who held their position throughout the night when surrounded by the enemy at the Northern end of the wood.
The heavy fighting in the village of LONGUEVAL and DELVILLE WOOD in which portions of the Division were engaged was an example of discipline, valour, and endurance which was wholly admirable.
It is with great regret that I hear the Division is to be transferred to another Army and I trust at some future time I may be honoured by again having it under my command.
