Friday
24th August 1917: Leighton Buzzard has today been “invaded” by
around 240 officers and men of the Royal Engineers. Six squads of soldiers who
had been taking part in a 36 hours exercise assembled at their designated
collection point at Church Square and in the High Street. After replenishing
their supplies of petrol they moved off to return to their depot near Dunstable.
