Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: HQ 9 Brit Inf Bde | ||
| Month and Year: December 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brig. G.D. Browne |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 0600 | The nights patrols discovered no trace of the enemy in their areas but a very unusual incident occurred in that the carrier pl comd and one man disappeared from a house at WEST WANSSUM 850277. A great deal of mystery is att to the incident and it can but be surmised that they were surprised whilst asleep and taken away by an enemy patrol. They were last seen at 2345 hrs last night 3 Dec. No elucidation of the incident can be obtained, nobody saw them after this time and no enemy patrols were seen or heard during the night. Whoever captured the carrier pl comd decided to make a quick quiet job of it as he was taken minus boots and topcoat. |
