WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 2nd Bn The Royal Ulster Rifles
Month and Year: June 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. I.C. Harris
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
5   LCI parties embarked during the morning at SOUTHSEA and moored off SOUTHSEA. Instead of the expected high tension in face of such a mighty undertaking the feelings appeared to be calm, as if yet another of the many exercises on similar lines was about to take place. Food on board was very satisfactory, fresh vegetables and bread being supplied to augment the “Compo” rations.
