WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 15 (S) Reconnaissance Regiment. | ||
| Month and Year: August 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. J.A. Grant Peterkin |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B.L.A. | 10 | Situation still static. 'B' Sqn still holding left flank where they managed to get patrols down as far as the river line in front of them. Indications were received this day to make it possible that the enemy were starting to withdraw in this area, and orders were given for the "ESTRY operation" to be laid on again should the enemy retire. Late that afternoon a Sqn of the Inns of Court (30 Corps Armd Car Regt) were ordered up to relieve 'B' Sqn. The reactions of an Armd Car Regt taking over from an Inf Div were interesting, and it was agreed to leave mortars and A/Tk guns with them so as to strengthen them. |
