Month and Year: August 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. S.V. Keeling, DSO
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
27   Recce party broke down on the way to recce the area this morning. L.O. had to continue the journey on the back of a M/C much to the detriment of his eyes. The 2/i/c Major H.R. Moon was recovered by the L.A.D. at the tail of the column. All D.R.'s are suffering very badly from sore eyes, due to the fact that the goggles issued by the army are absolutely useless against the dust which is prevalent in this district.
