Place	Date	Hour	Summary	Reference
	11		The change-over with 11 RSF took place without incident. It had been feared that mortaring would interfere with the operation. Absolute quiet, however, attended the operation. The Carriers took up a covering position in the new location which was left untenanted for a short time, and the bn moved in M.T. The hand-over of our old position took 90 minutes, the new position was not in contact with the enemy who appeared to have a base in the WORTEL area, from which patrols sallied out both by day and night. Standing patrols were sent out, but had nothing to report.	O.O. at Appx "F"
