Place Date Hour Summary Reference
17   We were now on the Army bndy and a certain amount of liaison was carried out with the Americans but their rapid adv soon put an end to this. In one case this was fortunate as one US bty had carried out a practice shoot on our bde area, but without causing casualties. During the rest period which lasted until the end of the month there were few outstanding events. Sleep, baths and relaxation were the prime necessities of life.
