7 December 1944

Another quiet day.

German soldiers were definitely identified digging in the area of SEVEN TREES*.

The enemy, on the East of the MEUSE in our sector seemed determined to lie low and complete their defences; at present they seem to have no offensive intentions.

For the moment the nature of the floods preclude any possibility of the enemy being able to cross the river in boats.

Less movement than usual reported in the same places by OPs.
