7 november 1944 WO 171/969 - 7 Field Regiment
The CO took over duties of CRA, Brigadier G.G. Mears, MC, having been evacuated to CCS for medical examination. The Regimental Survey Officer visited a demonstration of clothing for protection against Schu mines. This clothing certainly saved ones feet from being blown off but as in the case demonstrated the wearer is likely to lose his whole leg it was not thought that this suiting would be popular. F Troop, 16 Bty, took up a harassing fire position and expended 400 rounds during the night. D Troop returned on being relieved on the HCR front by a troop of 33 Fd Regt.
