We moved to area FREVENT 1299 where we were made responsible for the protection of the village. Coy HQ was set up at 123996 but in the afternoon we decided to move into FREVENT to the Chateau at 129997. We arrived here at 1750 hrs and were shelled by two SP guns until 1820 hrs when we decided to clear out very quickly. Unfortunately, Fus.
