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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | During the night same shelling continued intermittently for two hours. Although the shelling is perhaps one tenth of what the units are enduring and one fiftieth of what the enemy gets - it is not appreciated as it constantly interrupts work. But as Bde HQ and the enemy at LEBISEY are now in view of each other through the gaps in tress torn by shelling it is not surprising that attention is paid to us. |
