SUMMARY OF EVENTS AND INFORMATION
A fairly quiet day.
About 12 Mortar bombs landed in the Bn area during the day.
The RA engaged enemy dugouts, MG and mortar positions in the
morning and afternoon.
In the afternoon at 1500 the SP guns engaged a suspected enemy OP in HASSELT with delayed fuze HE. Results were
satisfactory as far as could be judged.
