WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 2nd Household Cavalry Regt.
Month and Year: October 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. H. Abel Smith
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
31   This month thus ended with 2 HCR who had been lent by 30 Corps to 8 Corps for 4 days still carrying out the same watching task. The job was most interesting but was hard work for the men in the Sqn as with the long night hours of patrol were stretched. Again the weather was vile and the ground was becoming very soft and boggy.
