For most of the winter of 1914-1915, the 16th London battalion of 18 Brigade, 6th Division were holding trenches opposite the village of Frelinghien on the French-Belgian border just to the north of Armentières with a system of reliefs whereby individual companies moved back for 4 day periods of rest. The battalion diary entry for 7th February, described it as ‘a normal day’ but not for Cecil Mighall who was killed, most likely by a sniper, the main threat here. |
