27   One tp of 9 Bty had the unique experience of going forward with infantry cover into the 'No Man's Land' between ASTEN and MEIJEL to engage targets out of range in their normal position. The excursion was carried out without incident. The infantry escort were carried back on the vehicles – a proceeding which pleased everyone. The Adjt undoubtably had the most unpleasant experience when he observed the shoot from the Air OP.
