Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 15 (S) Recce Regt, R.A.C. | ||
| Month and Year: June 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. J.A. Grant Peterkin |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denmead | 18-26 | Owing to a break in the weather and a very strong gale, this period was spent in the Marshalling Area as practically all movement to France ceased. The Regt, split up into Craft Loads and thus rather disorganised, spent the time doing final preparations to the vehs and kit, letter writing, going to the cinemas and concerts and sleeping. As no move was envisaged by the end of the week, a short trg scheme was carried out on Saturday, with a considerable number of free fights developing between patrols, there being no casualties. The chief difficulty during this wait was to procure enough money for everyone. |
