16 | 1200 | Reports came in about the casualties inflicted on the enemy in an engagement at X-trs 407465. The battle was between a fighting patrol of 20 ORs and Lt Harley and probably three enemy patrols, one of which returned the fire with SA and 2" Mortar. The patrol withdrew under fire and movement until "B" Coys Standing Patrol at 413469 was reached when both patrols engaged the enemy. The two patrols withdrew to allow the arty fire to come down. This proved successful. At least 12 enemy dead or wounded were claimed. We suffered no casualties. | A fuller report of this engagement is at appx. O |
