WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 7 Field Regt RA | ||
| Month and Year: December 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | RHQ and 16 Bty move, the Bty goes to area HAPS and RHQ to South of WANROIJ. These areas are better for communications but in the HQ position the mud is very bad. Billetting is reasonably comfortable but this position could not be pleasant with so much mud. Again the guns have a very quiet day. Reps are as normal with BCs at Bn HQ and one OP per Bn area. A certain amount of movement can be seen but we cannot afford the ammunition to engage small targets, the Boche seems to know this by experience and walks about in the open. |
