Lonsdale Battalion events that took place on 14 December.
For events that took place elsewhere, see 14 December on The Great War wiki.

1915

• Right half Battalion returns to Bouzincourt from the trenches near Albert.
• Officers and NCO’s of left half of Battalion are attached for instruction in the trenches to garrison the F1 and F2 sub-sectors.
• “They are in very good form, and prepared to look smiling under all possible circumstances. I had a talk yesterday on the futility of grousing and the necessity of making the best instead of the worst of everything. Sandbags much wanted. I have been in the trenches a lot to-day, and see how useful a private supply would be. Difficulty in keeping the walls standing, owing to the quantity of water, and there is nothing like sandbags.” – Lt-Col. P.W. Machell

1916

1917
