WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 15th/19th Hussars | ||
| Month and Year: May 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt Col A.D. Taylor, MC. |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 'A' 'B' & 'C' Sqns were near HAWICK, and Recce Sqn near GREENLAW. The training areas would have been very useful had the weather been good. This was the first time in the year when troop trg had been attempted. Previously, individual trg and gunnery had taken up all training time. The Commanding Officer had intended to set problems for troopleaders in the field. But throughout, the bad weather made the ground too soft for much useful tank training and very little profit was obtained. The continuous rain made living conditions most uncomfortable and there were very cold winds as well. During the week a rum ration was issued by order of the Bde Commander. |
