"Bloody April 1917" origin
Greetings all;
Just a bit of fun for your grey matter. Who was it that first applied the term "Bloody April" to the events of April 1917? It was a term that had been used previously for other historical events. But who first applied it to April 1917?

No one willing to comment? Here is a hint. It wasn't something that the RFC fostered. The military released names of the dead, wounded and missing to who?

Casualty lists were published in the newspapers of the day. I have a lead that says it was first coined in the "London Daily Times." I am doing a bit of research to check this out.
