WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: HQ 185 Inf Bde | ||
| Month and Year: July 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brig. K.P. Smith OBE. |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BEUVILLE | 1 | Posn at beginning of month shows 2 Warwick and 2 KSLI still alternating every five days or so between BEUVILLE and BIEVILLE and 1 Norfolk in the woods behind BEUVILLE with the forward company at BEAUREGARD now relieved by 3 Recce Regt (one sqn). The date of the attack for which we are waiting continues to be postponed which is disturbing because we lose men daily through harassing fire. |
