WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 9 Brit Inf Bde | ||
| Month and Year: November 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brig. G.D. Browne |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 1710 | Today has been altogether quiet, the only enemy mov seen being in the area of 808337. This place, visited by quite a number of the enemy, seems to be a small sub-unit HQ of sorts, as a result, this activity receives special attention from our arty. The weather is gradually becoming more and more unpleasant. The recent rains have transformed our tpt park into quagmire - the lane leading up to our new HQ is still mud-logged despite the efforts of the def pl at rd mending and draining. This part of Holland is extremely low and boggy and presents a very dreary landscape of devastation and desolation. The winds already blowing hard and cold across the open countryside gives ample warning of a rigorous winter campaign in Holland. |
