A Bn Church Parade was held in HORST CINEMA for HQ and S Coys at 1100 hrs and for Rifle Coys at 1430 hrs.


The Pipe Band played both parties to HORST.


Orders for the Bn counter attack role were produced, see

Appendix D.


Owing to a certain amount of apprehension in some quarters we were to be at 2 hours notice to move, from the evening of the 24th until 1200 hrs on the 26th, therefore the Officers Xmas Dinner Party was postponed till the evening of Boxing Day.
