| Month and Year: December 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. H.W. Lloyd |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |

| 17 | There was something in the nature of a "Flap" at RHQ this morning. This may, to some extent have been an echo of the German c/attack in the LUXEMBOURG area of which there is little news, save that it is developing in some strength. The Germans appear to have massed, in some secrecy, a considerable striking force in the wooded country. The excitement in our area was also partly caused by enemy air activity. 5 jet-propelled M.E 262s flew over LACTARIA and ST ANTHONIS and our A/A opened up. Bombs were dropped on EINDHOVEN. 'B' and 'D' Sqns were put on 1 hours notice. Dull, some rain. |
