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
23 1940 On the return of the Comd units were warned to stand by ready to move off at 0800 hrs 24 Sep. A day of no great event to us but of great event to the local population judging by the rough manner of treatment meted out to a so-called collaborator by the huge throng passing outside this HQ. The menacing mien of his immediate guard threatens the possibility of his being incarcerated in one piece.
