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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0400 | Enemy aircraft paid one of its periodical visits to our area. They went over Bde HQ but no bombs were dropped. Mine laying continues and the desperate business of trying to keep check of every mine laid. Units have been laying some anti-per mines in their own areas without reference to OC 17 Fd Coy. This unorganised laying is dangerous. No mines should be laid in any part of the Bde area without reference to this HQ. We will get this right next time. |
