| Month and Year: December 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brig. J.A. Oliver, D.S.O., M.B.E. |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |

| 29 | During the day a fairly large number of V.1s flew over the Bde area. Unfortunately one dropped about 100 yards from 7 Black Watch H.Q. as a result of which one private soldier was killed and seven wounded. During the afternoon three Dutch airmen who had been bombing the German spearheads were shot down and baled out into 126 Fd Regt area. During the night 29/30 December nothing of interest took place, with the exception of V.1s which regularly fell in and around the area, strangely enough causing no damage to W.D. property or personnel. |
