Unfortunately, the quality of the image taken of this particular page of the War Diary was poor and a transcription has not proved possible. This will be corrected at some time in the future if at all possible. The author of the War Diary has also followed the convention of annotating brief information about weather conditions. The handwriting is not of the best and some words are substituted by  ? where meaning is not clear.
