| Month and Year: December 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. J.O.E. Vandeleur |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | At about 0800 hrs four deserters from 159 trg Bn gave themselves up to our coy at HASTENRATH 7669. They had been engaged on a patrol designed to cut telephone wire on the rd GANGELT – SITTARD. Their ifm served in the main to confirm what we already knew & it is apparent that there is still little or no organisation in 176 Div. The Bn handed over the sector to the 9 DLI during the night 7/8 & moved to a rest area at RAATH 7464. The relief was completed without incident & the last coy had changed over by 2200 hrs. |
