Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 7 FD Regt RA | ||
| Month and Year: November 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. N.P.H. Tapp |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | The Regt moved to occupy a new area to support 185 Brigade, taking over the positions held by 76 Field Regt. At the same time 76 Field Regt moved to take up positions near to the ones we vacated at OVERLOON. The move had to be carefully controlled as continuous support had to be provided for both 8 and 185 Brigades. Both Brigades had duplicate representatives from each Regt and the continuous support was proved when an Uncle target was engaged during the move. The Regiment settled fairly comfortably although it rained heavily during the late afternoon, the tractors and guns causing the usual depth of mud. The new area was KLEINDORP. |
