WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 3rd R. Tks. | ||
| Month and Year: August 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. DAH Silvertop, MC |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 2000 | 4 KSLI and ourselves ordered to push on before last light to ST GEORGE-DE-GROSEILLES (8622). 8 RB to take over from 4 KSLI on feature. Eventually cancelled as sub-sub-unit of KSLI being held up in AUBUSSON by BGs and 2 tks, and failling light making it impossible to change over or for 8 RB to see ground in daylight. Further the prospect of a night march to ST GEORGE carrying infantry through a reported enemy position did not justify the move. |
