Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 15th/19th Hussars | ||
| Month and Year: April 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt Col A.D. Taylor, MC. |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | This was the first day of four during which the Regt fired the 75 mm guns on FORESTBURNGATE Range. The practices consisted of two or three rounds of direct fire followed by six or seven rounds indirect fire with shots being observed by the Crew Commander. A certain number of men fired the 75 mm at WARCOP Ranges last year and the Regt used FORESTBURNGATE Range for four days in March. These four days in April, in fact, were the second chance the Regt has had to practice all first Gunners and Crew Commanders, and was most valuable. |
