The 185 Brigade is frequently shelled during the day but we cannot retaliate as we would wish with an allotment of ten rounds per gun. There are signs that the enemy is withdrawing from the Divisional front but that story is very rarely believed by anyone who has followed the campaign since D day. CO held 'O' Group for BCs at 1800 hrs to give orders for tomorrows advance. We supply eleven representatives all told. |
