	7		During the night a small enemy patrol approached one of the RAF Regt's outposts. A Cpl dashed back to the Airfield with the alarming report that 50 to 100 enemy had broken through. A considerable "flap" ensued. The report of this reached the ears of the C-in-C during the day and had the satisfactory effect of producing a Bde of Infantry to take over that sector of our front. An O.P. from A.G.R.A., 1 Corps, arrived with 'A' Sqn. Considerable shellfire was put down on enemy positions in their area and 11 Germans were persuaded to give themselves up. They were from 937 Regt, 245 Div, which is the enemy Division opposing us.
