| 26 | The Recce Sqn set out on Exercise ‘Gaolbird’. Having been given one tin of bully-beef between two men and without money, the Sqn was dropped on the Moors near SKIPTON in YORKSHIRE and told to return in two days, finding out what they could on the way and without being caught by the Civil or Military Police who had been warned. All except two did return within two days bringing with them a large amount of information, much of which should never have been given to them. Everyone evidently enjoyed the two days. |
