During the morning all woods in the Bn area were searched and no trace of enemy found.


However two Germans, thought to have been dead about a fortnight, were found at 891154. Unfortunately such documents as they had on them were in such a mutilated and frozen state as to be unfit for any intelligence purposes.


During the day the enemy HQ at 914154 was engaged by Fd Arty.


Visibility was somewhat restricted but OPs saw some movement in 9016.


In the morning one Coy of S Lan R attacked the wood North Fast of WANSSUM but again without success. There was about

one Coy of enemy in the wood with 4 HMGs and also in line communication with other troops in WELL.
