WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 110 Provost CMP
Month and Year: April 1945 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Capt. J.D. Brown
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
7   No. 3 Section moved to 6017 into reserve. “Square Route” was altered between 3516 & KELLEN. Displaced persons are still a problem. Distances are now so great, that it is impossible for them to be cleared off the road quickly. They are taking cars, farm carts, horses & bicycles from the German owners, and they add to the difficulties of traffic movement on the roads. Reports are heard from time to time of assaults on women by these people, but they are quite few, considering the large numbers about the country side. Owing to our continual advance however, no time can be spared for investigations.
