| 24 | Gun positions of companies on the "IsIand", chiefly "B" Coy who are just South of ARNHEM, are absolutely waterlogged. Every possible way has been tried to find a successful drainage system, but to no avail. As a last resort, if guns have to be fired, Nos. 1's and 2's stand in inverted barrels in the trench, so keeping reasonably dry. |
