WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 13/18 Hussars (QMO) | ||
| Month and Year: September 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. V.A.B. Dunkerly |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 2000 | The bridgehead at ARNHEM is to be evacuated - a decision apparently taken by the C-in-C and not a surprising one really, if, as reports go, there are only about 600-700 Airborne tps left. This is to be effected to-night by assault boats, ducks etc., and a deception plan in which the Regt is involved has been laid on to induce the enemy to believe that the operation is in effect a further reinforcement. |
