WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: HQ 11 Armoured Division | ||
| Month and Year: July 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Major-Gen. G.P.B. Roberts DSO, MC |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | At this time there were two armoured car regiments under the division's command and one of these (2 HCR) patrolling in front of 159 Brigade Group had found a track through the FORET L'EVEQUE which was neither blocked by mines nor held by the enemy. This track evidently formed the boundary between two enemy divisions, 3 Para and 326 Infantry and apparently the enemy omitted to make it inclusive to either formation or the formation responsible had omitted to guard it. This theory was confirmed subsequently by a radio intercept which presented the route in question as a subject of dispute between the two German commanders concerned. |
