1st KOSB War Diary for date of wounds
During the previous few days a large number of Fd, Med and Heavy Regts had moved into the sector.
H hour for operation "PLUNDER", which was the crossing of the RHINE and the breakthrough into Central GERMANY, was 2100 hrs.
The CB programme was fired from 1900 to 2000 hrs.
The answering fire was light.
At 2000 the 51 (H) Div passed through us, crossing the RHINE at 2030 hrs in buffaloes and amphibious craft, aided by searchlights on General Grant tanks, and with a terrific barrage.
There was a little shelling and some mortaring on the forward coys and especially on the Ferry House 075514, and an enemy aircraft dropped three bombs in that area at 2245 hrs.
