WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 9 Brit Inf Bde
Month and Year: September 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Brig. G.D. Browne
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
18 2250 The Luftwaffe subjected tps of the Bde to a short sharp bombing attack in the marshalling area and though there seemed to be a number of planes employed the only damage caused was to a wireless truck with 2 Lincolns. The attack seemed significant in view of our move up to cross the canal it may be interpreted that the enemy has divined our intentions. Only of nuisance value the raid has not upset any plans.
