1944 - 2nd (Airborne) Bn, Oxf & Bucks LI – CHATEAU ST COME.
A noisy night due to our own and enemy arty fire, also large numbers of aircraft flew overhead, mostly our own. Bombs were dropped SE and SOUTH and SW of our posn but some fell in our immediate area. Another very good day for our snipers who between them claim 8 certain hits and 6 probables. The carelessness on the part of the enemy in allowing our snipers such success in the last few days may indicate a relief. But at the moment we believe the enemy opposite us to belong to Nos 6 + 7 Coys of the II Bn 857 Gren Regt.
