Saturday 22nd January 1916: The small town of Woburn is being enlivened
by the arrival every evening of 150 soldiers from Ampthill Camp for supper, bed
and breakfast. For the first time in many years the barracks in the yard of the
Bedford Arms are in use, and have been converted into sleeping apartments on
both the ground and first floors. Each man is supplied with a comfortable bed, pillows
and blankets, and the rooms enjoy gas light and hot water heating. Breakfast
and supper is being served at the Town Hall.
