This is a chronicling of Keith Dadd's log of European Theatre of Operations for Btry "A" 399th AFA Bn 8th Armoured Div. The log was started on Nov 7, 1944 through 1945. I will be posting for each corresponding day to the journal starting Jan 1st 2012. This means that Nov - Dec 1944 will come after thereby making this blog not in chronological order.




Please note: I strive to maintain the integrity of the log. Therefore, I will not correct any spelling of grammar mistakes and will post entries as is. (sic.)

Took Soest.
      Seen + was with the Inf.

this town. Fairly good size.
Krauts shelled us quite
badly.
During this trid as F.O. they almost
got our number a couple of
times. Riped my leg open
while going through a barb
wire fence -- Flying pleanty
of shell's falling close
