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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 | 1300 | The Regt less "A" Sqn has been released from sp of 130 Bde and are moving back to a maintenance cum rest area in OOSTERHOOT. "A" Sqn remain at HOMOET. Some tanks of "C" Sqn were bogged en route, which necessitate some rather unpleasant recovery work by night in close proximity to the enemy. On the way back a tp of "B" Sqn was directed to RANDWIJK to deal with an unexpected crossing of the river in that area by some old men of the Home Guard (encouraged by some 50 odd SS tps). It appears however that many different parties from various formations have been detailed to carry out the same task, with resulting confusion and non-elimination of the old men. "B" Sqn tp however patrolled the area round about RANDWIJK for quite a time and was ordered back at night to rejoin the Sqn. |
