12 janvier 1945

A quiet morning. At 1245 one German was seen moving about and a truck was seen to stop in the area 912160.


They were promptly engaged by RA.


This drew a certain amount of fire on to the dummy positions at 801157.


3" Mortars engaged enemy seen digging at 908147.


There was an increase in enemy shelling and mortaring particularly during the afternoon, mostly at 8918, 8816, 8915, 8917. Visibility was good up to 2000 yards

and OPs saw a fair amount of movement particularly in the area VELDEN 9014.


Between 1100 and 1200 there was continual enemy movement round house at 911149 and all day in area 912152.


The enemy were seen on several occasions to be using sledges on the steam tramway.


A staff car seen going from 909148 to house at 907153 in HASSELT and later going North at 916154 an hour later.


Recently little movement has been seen at

9016, 9017 whereas there has been greatly increased movement in the VELDEN area and at 9115. This may be due to the attention we have paid to LOMM and 9016.


This tendency seems to confirm civilian statements of

one Coy in VELDEN and one in SCHANDELO.
