WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 15th/19th Hussars
Month and Year: July 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt Col A.D. Taylor, MC.
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
6   3rd and 4th Tps 'C' Sqn did the Battle Practice at ORDFORD. The 2nd in Command controlled the run. The A.A. Tp had some gunnery instruction at the Naval Gunnery School on HMS MIRANDA at GT. YARMOUTH. On the whole however, it was becoming obvious that the A.A. Tp was unlikely to survive as such. The A.A. tks which should have come had not arrived, and an enterprise which had begun in Northumberland with much keenness petered out owing to lack of equipment and the prospect of never being used. QMS Tulley, the Orderly Room Sgt left for GHQ 2nd Echelon, 21st Army Group.
