17 December 1944
A great deal of air activity over the Bn area during the day, some of it being enemy aircraft, which did drop bombs some distance away during the day.
Two snipers were posted in the house at 845290 but saw very little movement - none of it fresh news. In the evening one sentry of 12 Pl B Coy reported hearing movement but a patrol of two secs went out into the area of the movement but could find nothing.
RA fired several targets during the day.
OPs had less than usual to report.
