D-Day+

217

9 January 1945

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.

Sgts ERF Hutcheson and G Baitey were granted immediate commissions as 2nd Lieuts.
