Colonies and Allies come together to protect “London Trench”

The Hun launched an attack on “London Trench” In northern France. At 8:00 in the evening on Saturday October 5^th when many soldiers were given early rest so they could be in church at dawn, The Hun launched a surprise attack after bombing “London Trench” for hours with Artillery, Incendiaries, and Mustard gas, German commanders ordered a mass suicide charge on “London Trench” captured documents reveal that “German commanders are willing to sacrifice any number of soldiers, civilians, or land just to see ‘London Trench’ destroyed.” However steadfast in their duty, British soldiers and their allies repelled the attack. This reporter would like to highlight The Duke of Bedford’s own 503RD Sapper Regiment. During the German attack The 503RD Sappers were risking their lives to rebuild a French Church in No Man’s Land, not only did they protect the Church, The detachment of soldiers at the Church managed to recapture much of “London Trench”. The 503RD is comprised of loyal soldiers from Great Britain, Her Colonies, and her Allies. Englishmen, Scots, Irish, Aussies, Frenchmen, The Welsh, Even loyal Americans  fight together with unity to be one of the most successful units on the line. Colonel Winston J Edinburgh III Gave them high regards saying “[The 503RD] Have proven that, When properly motivated and led, a colonial soldier can fight above and beyond the call of duty” During the initial wave alone, the 503Rd directly credited with 79 kills, and capturing 54 Germans. Many of the Germans were quoted as saying “We would rather be prisoners of the British than Slaves to the Kaiser.”
