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
29   A major diversion took place during the night, in the form of 6 determined Germans who swam downstream from the East towards NIJMEGEN and proceeded to blow up both bridges - the road only slightly but the rail one very successfully. This has naturally cut our axis once again, but rather nearer where we can feel it. Repairs are however being carried out.
