| 18 | 1750 | At long last we were able to secure confirmation of identification of the boche facing us. 1 KOSB secured a prisoner from 7 coy II bn Regt Menzel thus pinpointing their posns. Our first physical identification of this bn was over three weeks ago and it is rather interesting to note that they have not been relieved since then. The quickening up of enemy mov in the East side of the rly at 800316 - 798328 gave rise to the opinion that a relief may have taken place. PW statement places 6 coy Regt Menzel 809341-798328. 5 Coy 798328-798318 and 6 coy 798318 to an indefinite posn on the right. 8 coy are believed to hold posns on the right of 6 coy. This enemy paratp bn is responsible for a comparatively large sector but has the sp of an unknown unit in rear who provide all patrols for them. |
