Just saw this but its late. I will take a look in the war diary tomorrow night. Cheers Brian

My copy of the war diary stops at aug28th, maybe the next page could not be read. I will scan a couple of pages of the battle history but it does not give specific dates. Cheers Brian

Thanks Brian. Gives some idea of what was happening.

I should have included this page as it shows they were quite busy. Cheers Brian

Hello All,

Brian, you might remember me as we had some mail contact a while back.

I wonderd if these War Diarys are open for everyone and how hard is it to get? As i'm interessted in their actions around december 1944 /january 1945 of A, B and C SQN (especially B SQN) in the area of Boxmeer, Beugen, Oeffelt.

I guess there must me war diarys of this period.

Hopefully someone can tell me how to get these pages out of the war diary.

Best regards,

Guido
