WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 9 Brit Inf Bde | ||
| Month and Year: October 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brig. G.D. Browne |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 0600 | The results of the night's work proved the enemy to be keeping firm in posns he was known to occupy. 1 KOSB again saw and heard signs of the enemy East of the MOLENBEEK and report burning haystacks on the enemy side of the rly. This may be a new hun technique, as burning haystacks have been reported for the past three nights now. The radiance restricts mov of patrols and enables the enemy to see greater distances to his front; therefore it is a possible solution that the German may set fire to the hay to assist his def at night. |
