During night 25/26 Nov enemy a/c raided METRIK area dropping anti-personnel and heavier bombs. One bomb landed in 123 Bty waggon lines and one man was killed and four wounded. The gun area was situated just inside the enemy AMERIKA – HORST defence line. The extent to which the Germans had dug underground command posts and achieved very successful camouflage was most instructive. From one enemy OP a good view could be obtained of the log rd to VEULEN which had been constructed during the previous weeks and over which our vehs had driven to get to VEULEN. |
