Unit: 3rd Bn Irish Guards
Month and Year: December 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. J.O.E. Vandeleur
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
6   Our patrols on the night 5/6 established the fact that the enemy was still occupying LANGBROICH 7970 & BUSCHENRIEDE 7770, & during the day smoke from houses in those areas indicated their continued presence. A projected patrol for the night 6/7 had to be abandoned owing to confusion on our right flank, where a neighbouring Bn was being relieved.
