| Unit: 6th Guards Tank Brigade | ||
| Month and Year: July 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brigadier G.L. Verney, M.V.O. |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23 | Bde H.Q., H.Q. Sqn and the Sig Sqn moved about 2 miles S.W. to a farm at 818791. Although not quite so convenient from the point of view of being near a main rd, the ground was much drier than the previous location, which had become a quagmire after 36 hrs practically incessant rain. The offrs mess was inside a large cowshed (cleaned out and quite hygienic) but otherwise everybody was under canvas. The farm itself was occupied by its owners and some refugee children from CAEN. |
