On the right of the bn sector, another recce patrol saw enemy in the poplar trees at 757683. This was apparently a working party. The patrol moved to the North end of the orchard at 754682 and shot up the enemy with their Bren guns. Smoke was also put down South of the dyke. There was no reaction. A patrol from "D" Coy succeeded in marking and bridging a route through the orchard at 744696 where the snipers were to be installed next day. |
