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
20 1450 By early forenoon 1 KOSB were fully in possession of ACHEL and had moved their HQ into the village. The enemy seem to have made a gen withdrawal in the area, unexpected considering their vigorous defence of the previous day, yet not wholly surprising in view of the dogged perseverance and courage shown by our tps when in contact with the Boche.
