Boy Scouts Out for Victory

Postcard 1914-18 [X464/62]

Saturday 22nd August 1914 (Bedford): The Boy Scouts have been very busy all week. Some have been acting as messengers for the Highlanders since they arrived last Saturday and the police have also been relying on Scouts as messengers. Others have been acting as guards, watching both the railway bridges, the reservoir, and the pumping station. Bedford's own Scout Troups are being helped by the Elstow, Kempston and Clapham Scouts.
