WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 4th Tk Bn Coldm Gds.
Month and Year: October 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. A.W.A. Smith
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
5   We are still waiting definite orders for our attack which gradually seems to be getting into shape. A great many people have made themselves really comfortable in dugouts. It has now become apparent that summer is really over as the night temperature is noticably low and “stand to” at 0645 is a very different matter from when we last did it at FLERS.
