	6		"B" Coy: A recce patrol was sent to 123249 where it was now believed that the mortars were firing. Their object was to discover if there was an enemy position in this area. If no enemy were reported by this patrol, further patrols were to go out, one to WINKEL HOEKEN 1325 and to the woods at 128262 to report if there were any enemy in those areas. If, on the other hand, the original patrol reported that there were enemy in the area it was to search, a fighting patrol was to go out to deal with them.
