    <td>We moved from Ste.

He has made "mincemeat" of all his pill boxes, etc. by demolitions and generally made a mess of the docks and quays.<br>Our area is a Former German defended locality and as usual our Bn HQ is in a former German HQ building. Somehow we always manage to do this same thing and many times it hasn't proven very wise, anyway.<br>We are not in defense yet anyway and all ocys and ecpt are in their own groups and in no way dispersed other then freedom of movement. To-day was proclaimed a holiday by Division and the day is to be spent on cleaning up and maintenance.of vehicles is practically the only work going on. To-morrow all Dieppe veterans are to attend a memorial service at the Canadian Dieppe Cemetery. In the afternoon is our March Past for General Montgomery. Of course is the normal confusion over this issue. Example - webbing - re-webbing off, soft hats worn - tin hats worn. This will all straighten itself out before to-morrow.<br>One thing we are still assured of is our three day rest and everybody is keeping their fingers crossed.<br>Dieppe is not "out of bounds" and the troops may go into town providing they are home by 2200hrs. It is quite OK though because there is nothing to buy nor anything to drink. Quite a safe bet for the powers that be in making this decision.<br>The balance of the day was very quiet and no excitement.<br><br>Weather Fair and warm, rain later in the day.</td>

<td>Today the Battalion travelled many miles, in two steps, over pretty countryside and through villages teeming with seemingly sincere populace. The total distance amounts to 116 miles from Dieppe to St. Folquin.
<br>We started at 0100hrs and by 0900hrs Were we in an area close to Montreuil. The trip was a fairly trying one for everyone concerned because we took one particular right turn in Bn instead of a left turn and had to travel a few miles extra, through Beaucamp then northwards to get back on our own route.
<br>When we arrived in the area we were greeted by breakfast and then one and all, except the C.O., Adj. I.O., and recee party officer, Capt. Mark Tennant, curled up in a blanket and snored a few hours sleep. This movement was a very popular one because of the fact, we had no sleep whatever, last night. Our stay here proved to be fairly short however because after an early cup of tea at Bde we were warned to move by 1300 hrs the area of the town called Bourbourgville and on.
<br>Capt Mark Tennant and his recee party once again preceded us and prepared the new Bn position. The balance of our trip was quite uneventful except for the overwhelming hospitality of the French civilians as we passed through the towns and villages. The Diestel Feels the town of Folquin is the best one yet, because along with many others in the Bn, including C.O. and Maj. Lyn, they had kisses blown at them from very beautiful Misses and Miles. Why a pity they had to move on.
<br>At no time during the trip did we contact the enemy. From all appearances he has drawn back a great deal.
<br>At the cross-roads in Nordamques the battalion has debussed and due to a very grave mistake on the part of the I.O. the Bn took a right turn once again by mistake, this time, instead of going straight ahead.
<br>After travelling some 2 miles in the wrong direction Brig. McGill ordered the RHC, who were following us, who are following us and had just reached the cross-roads still embussed, to pass through to the correct objective along the correct route.
<br>The I.O. certainly holds his head high since along the route he had marked was taken directly from the Brig map and certainly should have been right. However it wasn't and the I.O. will go down in history as the cause of a lot of concern for the C.O.
<br>At 1900hrs the RHC started their push up to take Bourbourgville and to be followed by the R de Mais who will curl up at St. Folquin slightly west of Bourbourgville. In the meantime, in order to clear the way for the RHC, we were curled up on both sides of the correct axis of advance.</td>

By this time we were all fit to kill somebody because it was 0300hrs and raining very hard.<br>When Bn HQ arrived at their temporary area we found a group of farm buildings and in one corner a pile of straw. It did not take long to find everybody curled up in this priceless bedding and away into dreamland for a little rest before the move at first light to-morrow morning.<br><br>Weather Cold with rain</td>

<td>At first light, amidst pouring rain, the Bn moved northwards a few kilometres to St. Folquin. Our new area was situated in the tiny village completely surrounded by evil smelling flood land and bordered on one side by a canal. All of the fields from Nordmaques to here, and on to Bourbourgville are completely inundated with water varying in depth from a few inches to several feet. The Hun had blown the dykes in many places. Our first greeting was that everything in the inundated vicinity had been mined and almost all the roads were reported closed. There were no chances.<br>We took up headquarters in an occupied farm house and the companies tightened in around the neighbouring farms and houses. The people were overwhelmingly nice to us and, as in most cases, they couldn't do enough for us.<br>Bn HQ was fortunate in being treated as guests in the home of a farmer and his wife and were given practically all the comforts of home including good coffee and real lump sugar. These articles had been hidden from the Hun and we were the lucky recipients.<br>The reports were that the RHC had bumped into heavy opposition last night attempting their advance into Bourbourgville and that at 1300hrs the R de Mais were to attempt a further attack on the village. We were to follow the R de Mais attack and pass through them to Loon Plage. All this depends greatly on whether or not the engineers' bridge is through, from our side of Bourbourg across the canal into town.</td>

    <td>At 1855 hours Dog reported start line plus 200%. H Hour had been set at 1830 hours but when the time rolled round, Major Mackenzie requested a 10 minute extension on Lt.-Col. D. G. MacLauchlan would allow no postponement and issued orders that Dog Coy carry on. A little consternation arose in Charlie Coy's area when some 20 plrs fell asleep.  The C.O.  was not informed of the request from Dog and trying to reach them finally, After trying to contact Major Kearns by air, and relay, at 2040 hours the C.O. resorted to the fundamental basis of all communications - the man on foot - and sent out 2 scouts to reach Able Coy. Due to M.G. fire, they could not get across the cross roads 854094. They were able to reach the carrier who was operating as link and brought back the information that Able Coy was in position holding the ridge.  However, due the enemy were lobbing over the old phosphorus bomb. After waiting anxiously for news from Able Coy we at last were advised that they could report "Able", but that they were engaged in street fighting in Brecht. A more detailed explanation developed that Major Kearns Coy had encountered a MG position and decided on a right flanking movement staying in the houses.  The enemy had occupied the houses and forced them to get out of town and fight their way back to their objective! Dog Coy's area was quiet at 2130 hours but was subjected to sniping on right flank. Further, to Able Coy situation report, Major Kearns at 2145 hours advised us that the Coy was weak in strength and that the situation was quite serious and anxious. He was trying to reorganize but was constrained by sniper opportunities. Reinforcements were needed but he could not whether he could get some from Dog. Close with the enemy, he did not request more casualties necessitating additional stretcher bearers. He was still out of touch with the carriers, he could not report Charlie and would not be able to do so for some time. On orders from the C.O. Major Mills had one of his Platoons moved forward by 2230 hours to reinforce Able Coy who now reported the situation quieting down, permitting him to reorganize. <br>Following a morep at 2315 came the encouraging word that Major Kearns's punasnius band had stopped a counter-attack even if it was only for the time being. The day was won. <br>Among the casualties for the day was Lieut. Doug Craddock who received a flesh wound in the knee and Lieut. Casey who was killed. <br><br>Weather - dark and cloudy in the morning, clearing up in the afternoon. <br>Visibility limited - night rainy and very poor visibility.</td>

PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE C-in-C
(TO BE READ TO ALL TROOPS)
Se 192
Appx 8

1. I want today, 17 September, to speak to all soldiers in the Group of Armies under my command.

2. What a change has come over the scene since I last spoke to you on 21 August. Then we were moving up towards the SEINE, having inflicted a decisive defeat on the German armies in Normandy. Today the Seine is far behind us; the Allies have removed the enemy from practically the whole of France and Belgium, except in a few places, and we stand at the door of Germany.
And by the terrific energy of your advance northwards from the Seine, you brought quick relief to our families and loved ones in England — by occupying the launching sites of the flying bombs.
We have advanced a great way in a short time, and we have accomplished much. The total of prisoners captured is now nearly 400,000, and there are many more to be collected from those ports in Brittany and in the Pas de Calais which are still holding out.
The enemy has suffered immense losses in men and material; it is becoming problematical how much longer he can continue the struggle.

3. Such a historic march of events can seldom have taken place in history in such a short space of time.
You have every reason to be very proud of what you have done.
Let us say to each other :
« This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes ».

4. And now the Allies are closing in on Nazi Germany from the east, from the south, and from the west; her satellite powers have thrown the towel into the ring — they have had enough of the Nazis, and they now fight on our side. Our American Allies are fighting on German soil in many places; very soon we shall all be there.

5. The Nazi leaders have ordered the people to defend Germany to the last and to dispute every inch of ground; this is a very natural order, and we would do the same ourselves in a similar situation. But the mere issuing of orders is quite useless; we require good men and true to carry them out. The great mass of the German people know that their situation is already hopeless, and they will think more clearly on this subject as we advance deeper into their country; they have little wish to continue the struggle.

6. Whatever orders are issued in Germany, and whatever action is taken on their name, no human endeavours can now prevent the complete and utter defeat of the armed forces of Germany; their fate is certain, and their defeat will be absolute.
The triumphant cry now is
« Forward into Germany ».

7. Good luck to you all, and good hunting in Germany.

ADDRESS

This is the first opportunity to
speak to all of you, Officers, Non-com-
missioned Officers, And Men since we left
England. We have moved far and fast since
that day, and conditions of which you are
fully aware as I am, have made it untimely
to have you together in a small assembly
group as that we have today. As I
I have had the chance to many of you individually
at odd times now I want to express a few
of my thoughts to all of you through the
medium of the "CLUE".

It is a most "Brown Up" battalion
now after the experiences I have been
through in these last months, and although
things in it were a class above Unit when
that I think it owns a better Unit now,
There has been many changes in the Unit and
we have lost many of our old friends. We
have been joined by many new men, but one
of them although he joined us so much,
is that, some of them, say what he has
joined as some new Unit, but some have
different places, now in my opinion that it
is suitable for Every Highlander.

Your grit, in courage you’ve shown finally
and as a Battalion is obviously justified
by your courageous conduct, it is too early
yet to summarize what detail about things
accomplished and say courage fully result-
ations would be a bit premature, but when the jo
shortly completed, but this I can say, that
what Have always known as unbounded pride
in the Battalion, but the accomplishments
both by the Unit and, by individuals in it
begging my poor phrases to describe, is
many times, and of this I am very sure, our
successes have resulted, not from individual
military astutity, human luck or collective
gallantry and bravery, but from a collective
unity of purpose, but something infinitely
stronger than all these - the esprit de corps.

MET
You have unflinchingly the most comset-
ing trusts that have been placed on you,
have and at times shown a courage and

cheerfulness, a pride in yourselves, in
your Unit, and in your country, and an un-
conquerable determination successfully to
execute any task, and you have done it then
time and time again.

Most of our path has been far from
easy and I do not expect the balance of it
to be any easier. We have made great stri-
des along that path and I am completely
confident that having overcome the obstacles
you have, nothing, in fact can restrain you, and the distance is vastly shorter than when we started.

Of this too, I am sure. When the re-
cord of your achievements is reviewed, it will
compare favorably with your predecessors.
It will give you a rating with any Unit at
any time and will most completely justify
your faith and pride in yourselves and the
hopes and expectations of supporters. I consider
friends and supporters of this Unit to be
proud of the "Brown Up" to the "Fight"
of the Brown Up. C.F., (the last War) the
same Unit which you participate. You are
now and thoroughly fulfilling the obliga-
tions of your service and the bringing the
pride which I feel you will be shared by
the country you represent.

As far as the honour which was recent-
ly awarded was once concerned, I hope
that as proud of evidence of the recog-
nition of the magnificent performance you
have consistently given, and an such, shall
wear with the greatest pride.

On your behalf I wish to thank all the
supporting arms of branches of the ser-
vice that have thus far time to so only
assisted the unit's tasks. Their help has
been imaginative and we are deeply appre-
ciative of it.

My most sincere congratulations for
all you have accomplished. We will con-
tinue with equal determination until the
final successful culmination of our efforts.
For that, I leave it back to you all,
Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and
Men, And may God continue to grant us his
support in the future as he has done in the
past.

THEM HE

WROTE HOME

EDITORS NOTE: Jack Lee, who formerly wrote
the series "Then He Wrote Home" is out of
the Battalion at the present due to wounds
received in battle. We understand his
wounds have healed, but it is doubtful
whether he will return. In the mean-
time at least an effort is being made to
carry on in Jack's place.

TO THE FOLKES AT HOME - Being as I am in
France and any very busy digging slit ren-
tches and other necessary actions, I have a-
n't had much time to write. Every time I
got ready to write something would have to
move or we would job over a few 88's or
Moaning Minnies.

Appendix to War Diary  Manus

France and Belgium
Sep 16-17-18 1944

Enroute from Caen Place 1368 to Antwerp 685960 (centre)
Lieut Col. G.H. Launchlan and Lieut N.S. Moore (D.O.)
Also two static days in Borsek 782938 w S.C.1.B. H.Q.

at 1345 hrs on the 16 day September 1944, Lieut Col G.H.
Launchlan and the D.O. travelled to S.C.1.B. accompanied
at Looburgs 1671 sheet 39/28 when they met Lieut Col Frank
Mulholland and the 20 of the R.N.C. and Lieut Col Julien Bebran and
his 20 of the R.Regiment de Maine.

at 1400 hrs Major Slate, B.U. of S.C.1.B. gave this party
the officers route from Looburgs to Antwerp. Lieut Col G.H. that
and the rest of the party were to motor by jeep to Antwerp to
await Brigadier A.J. Tegill at S.C.1.B. Zoo at Broeck 7893.
by 1800 hrs.

in the past nearly driven the D.O. crazy, that he is certain
as this furniture. These two were shortly he a new "sumay"
jeep drive.

We passed through beautiful country count and upon passing
into Belgium, at Rookery, the party were stopped because of
a field tire on Lieut Col G.H. that's jeep. barely then short

of feeling.

He followed "Dump" units until we reached Court Belle
when our route changed to Dinand and then to Hear". The
route was very well thanked throughout and surprisingly,
perrented little difficulty until a little later, which will
be explained as the diary progresses. *

(Dick very lovely spots as Roulers, Thilo and Ghent,
we passed through during the trip, and many spots
of Canadery. histories colors were seen as well unfortunately,
had to speed by, due to the Twin lines. are now Canadian
and British reminders and memorials, and German 1914-18
fortifications. The Canadian cemetery near Poelcapelle
6460 was remarkably well kept and certainly a joy to hold
in the extraordinary brilliance of bright fresh flowers.

About brief part clearly, the trip was the presence of
3 lanes connected highways. as a matter of fact the roads were
