WAR DIARY
or
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Army Form C.2118
Unit: 4 KSLI
Month and Year: August 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. I.L. Reeves
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
  [The timing given for this incident with the German tank is incorrect. The incident took place not long after first light, no later than 0800 hrs. and maybe earlier. How Major J.A. Ellis, who appears to have written this section of the Diary, came to write the timing as 1230 hrs. I do not know, but he had been injured (and perhaps concussed) in the Carrier incident on 27 August. Urwin Thornburn, M.C. T.D., O.C. ‘D’ Coy, 4/KSLI. Entered in Diary File at Public Record Office, 28 November, 1985.
