WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: HQ, 9 Brit Inf Bde. | ||
| Month and Year: August 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brig. G.D. Browne |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 1130 | The Bde Comd on his return dismissed the 'O' Gp to their conc areas to await further orders, then immediately left for Div Tac HQ again. The cause for the delay in proceeding with the op against FLERS is to be found in the enemy’s rapid withdrawal in the area, no contact having been made with his forces during the night even though elements of 8 Bde had penetrated to within one mile of LANDISACQ 8021 and had occupied FRENES 7825. |
