WAR DIARY
SUMMARY OF EVENTS AND INFORMATION
Another quiet cold night.
One patrol located enemy riflemen firing from 904172.
The enemy shelled the Coy deception area 'EDINBURGH' during the morning, and at 1400 hrs there was a fair amount of enemy mortar fire.
A fix was obtained by Coy bearings at 932170 and engaged by one Bty RA. The mortaring ceased, otherwise a quiet and unexciting day.
