| Month and Year: September 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Maj Gen. L.G. Whistler, DSO |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | Adm Order Noo. 21 issued. During the month a realxing of the stringet rules concerning compassionate leave has been effected resulting in more men being granted leave. All ranks have been most impressed by the Dutch reception of the British Army- there is no doubt as to its genuine depth. The Div has partly solved the perennial difficulty of provided PW guards by collecting 25 all ranks from the Bns for this purpose. Those men, although medically category A are in fact useless to Bns in battle owing to various physical reasons not recognised by the RAMC and will henceforth provide permanent PW guards. A number of Provost are thus released for the more important jobs of traffic control etc. |
