| 22 | Bn took over from 7 DWR. The greater part of the relief was carried out during daylight, but part of "A" Coy could not take over until after dark. The area itself was not flooded, but the accomodation was lacking in the fwd Coy areas, most of the houses having been damaged or destroyed. During the night, a recce patrol visited the house at 741692. This was found to be unoccupied and before first light the recce patrol went out again to escort two snipers who were established in the house. The recce patrol also reported the houses at 743689 unoccupied and not flooded. |
