| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | All three bns carried out a full patrolling programme during the night and their reports are indicative of the enemy still holding to his posns, although in area wood 7929 and 7930 he seems to have withdrawn his forces East of the rly and merely patrols this area at night. Fwd of rly the enemy was never believed to be in any great str but on the evidence of our patrolling he was definitely holding some posns around 797308 and 797296 until a few days ago. The entire day was again quiet except for occasional enemy shelling and mortar activity. |
