1st KOSB WAR DIARY - DATE OF WOUNDS
In the early morning there was considerable mortar and spandau fire in the area 0751 and two bombs were dropped in that area by enemy aircraft at 0600 hrs.
The glider-borne troops passed over the Bn area shortly after 1015 hrs.
During the day there was occasional shelling in the Ferry House area.
Owing to an enemy strong point holding out in the WESTERN end of REES a bridge could not be built from the Ferry House to the town, but one Cl15 bridge was built 500 yards further WEST.
The Bn occupied day positions permanently except for a D Coy Pl at the Ferry House.
There was MG fire from the strong point in REES during the night.
