WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 151st (A.Y.) Field Regiment, R.A.
Month and Year: September 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. A.P. Trevor, R.A.
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
12   Farm occupied by RHQ was run by a Swiss who had organised the place under German control. Various Belgians brought information that the Swiss owner was a colloborateur. Local White Brigade arrived and after some dispute decided that the Swiss should be left alone. RHQ guards were ordered to stop him if he attempted to leave the compound. On 13 Sep he left the compound on a horse and was halted and brought in under guard. He was later despatched to F.S. Section who brought him back being satisfied as to his sympathies. This case clearly demonstrated the difficulties inherent in system of informing against “collaboratateurs”.
