237809 Pte. Allen Nield British Army 6th Btn. E Coy. Cheshire Regiment from:Stockport Taken from postcards to his brother and sister. E.Company, 6th battalion, Cheshire Regt. Territorial bat. Allen Nield. (WR/203603) 12th August 1914 We are all packed up for a 12 mile march to Church Stretton tomorrow, starting possibly in the dark (eg 3.30 am) Saturday. We might find tents (up or down or none at all). We have to be ready to kip under hedges with nothing but what each man carries in shape of food and shelter. Food is good and plentiful but rough. Yrs Allen. 1915 photo of Fountainblue Tuesday 16th. We are up near the scene of the advance near La Bassee and have just been engaged in clearing the wounded from where they lay in the open. Some since Wednesday Our forces captured 3 lines of trenches in 12 minutes but paid a hellish price. The shell fire here is horrible. I am going back to barracks today. Allen.
