16 January 1945

Another quiet day, with the enemy showing no signs of feeling the slightest bit aggressive.


33rd Fd Regt, 3" Mortars and MMGs engaged suspected Admin areas during the day which included positions at 911166 and 912152 and areas 911152, 911159 and track junction 912157.


There was no appreciable reaction to this except for a slight increase in shelling at 8915 in the afternoon and evening.


At 2100 one enemy aircraft flying North East dropped 3 red flares over the Bn area, otherwise a quiet night.


An Offrs' Day was held in the morning. Programme under Appx 'D'.
