| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | The Regiment moved to a position North East of ST AUTHONIS, batterys are well spread out in order to support the 185 Brigade which holds the front line from GROENINGEN to ST AGATHA. The Regimental Signal Section lay as much as 25 miles of cable. Communications work quite well during the day but as is normal in the area they deteriorate in the evening - we find it necessary to use relay stations. The three battery areas are 9 Bty ST ANTHONIS, 17 Bty RITKVOORT, 16 Bty HAPS. Two other ranks injured. |
