War Diary vermeldingen

10 december 1944 WO 171/703 - 185 Infantry Brigade
Arrival of IO from Div with the very disturbing news of Bde Comd’s departure and promotion to GOC 6 Airborne Div. The new Bde Comd - Brig EHG Grant, DSO, MC arrives at the same time. This is very unexpected and very upsetting news - but the HQ is extremely glad at the Bde Comd's promotion. A party was hastily organised to speed him on his way, etc.
