INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 13/18 Hussars (QMO)
Month and Year: September 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. V.A.B. Dunkerly
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
25 0600 Stand to. Nothing to report from forward Sqns except fairly heavy shelling from "C" Sqn at first light. "A" Sqn have been released from sp of 4 Dorsets but remain at HOMOET except for switching one tp to the East to watch possible enemy lines of approach from East and the ARNEM – NIJMEGEN Railway. The constant rain is making the roads almost unserviceable and deployment across country quite impossible.
