War Diary vermeldingen

17 april 1945 WO 171/5084 - 13 Royal Horse
Blocking UELZEN - shot up many enemy vehs etc, but Capt Kinnersley (FOO H Bty) shot up by own Typhoons. Identification maks and signals displayed. Seemed q case of mistaken map-reading by the air. Several isolated flak site in this area, consisting of SS and smaller-calibre wpns. Very srubborn, particularly at BARUM, wich was taken by 8RB after a day' a fighting. Our losses slight, but Boche heavy. Our guns very active all day in sp of them, shooting up tpt and firing red sm to indicate tgts for RAF. The red sm seems very successful and provided the tgt is clearly visible ranging is unnecessary: 2 rds usally suffice to draw attention to the tgts. In bad weather more time is required, and if tgt is hidden, eg, by woods etc, accurate pin-pointing is necessary.
