| 17 | Normal harrassing fire was laid down till 1200 hrs. After that heavy H.F was sent over, rising to a crescendo between 1530 and 1600 hrs, 600 H.E. bombs were allotted for this purpose. Then after a 15 mins silence, the loud speaker van, operating from 7 RWF on our right, gave two talks and a smoke screen was laid, under cover of which it was hoped that the enemy deserters would come in. Absolutely nothing happened as a result of this programme. Patrols during the night had nothing to report. |
