1st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, in the trenches opposite Fricourt, February and March 1916
Lt J.B.P. Adams wrote about everyday life in the Somme trenches opposite Fricourt in "Nothing of Importance: a record of eight months at the front with a Welsh battalion". In February and March 1916, apart from one day when three officers were killed, casualties were 'light', and only fifteen of their number now lie in Point 110 Cemetery south of Fricourt. The 24th Manchesters shared the duty of manning this stretch of the front, and suffered more heavily.
