Place Date Hour Summary Reference
4   The system for artificial moonlight is that 185 Bde order light between 2 Northings lines and the Regt details the searchlight Section. If corrections are required the Bn concerned puts a request to Bde HQ this is passed to Regt and we order a sweep by degrees to the searchlight section HQ with whom we have wireless contact. Corrections were important tonight as 16 Bty Offrs Mess was silhouetted in a blaze of light.
