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
5 0600 Other events during night were lacking in interest, no contact being made our patrols although one of the standing patrols saw an MG firing down the line of rly from area opposite 797324; this being followed at 0210 hrs by a couple of bursts of tracer also fired along line of rly from approx same area. No reason can be assessed for these haphazard shoots other than the fact that they are a German attempt to draw the fire of and pinpoint our weapons.
