WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 4/7th Royal Dragoon Guards.
Month and Year: December 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. G.K. Barker
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
26-28   The big picture now looked definitely better and the Americans had definitely held the shoulders of the German salient and had beaten back elements of Pz. Divs who were threatening the MAAS. The Commanding Officer held a Conference on 28th December. It was still appreciated that the enemy might put in quite strong but limited attacks on the 12 Corps front to prevent any British Troops being withdrawn to go to the assistance of the Americans in the South.
