Place	Date	Hour	Summary	Reference
	19		During the last few days there has been more activity along the opposite bank of the MAAS along the whole front of The Royals Gp. There has been more active patrolling by the enemy at night. A good deal of digging has been observed and his shelling and mortaring have increased and is becoming more accurate. At about 1400 hrs today several large shells, probably 105's, landed in the outskirts of ST ANTHONIS in which is located RHQ and 3 (Br) Div (Rear). Our own counter-battery fire has slackened considerably. Ammunition is in rather short supply and 25 Fd Regt are loth to engage targets as liberally as before. Little enemy movement was seen on our own front today. Two V.2's were reported. Fair. Good visibility.
