all day with scattered showers and the Squadron was released from
operations until the afternoon. But even after that we did no
operations. Early in the morning the tannay aroused all personnel from
their slumbers with the news that a pocket of Jerries were close to
our field and that an attack was eminent. Officers and Airmen reported
to action stations as instructed and awaited further orders. No
offensive was made but although we returned to continue our broken
slumbers somewhat after, we had to keep our small arms at hand for any
eventuality. It is understood that Jerries had been engaged by the
R.A.F. regiment. With the loss of S/L Pentland of 440 squadron on
operations and with F/L Burton of our Squadron nearing completion of
his first tour, discussion was underway regarding F/O's J.E. Hogg and
C.L. Burgess for Flight commanders posts of our outfit and F/L A.E.
Monson as Squadron Commander of 440 Squadron.
