| Carter Bks, Bulford | April | Tempo of training during the month was speeded up in preparation for the operation that everyone felt was not far away. Special Courses were given to various Companies including a street-fighting course in Southampton, and a swimming course in Yeovil Baths. The entire Battalion spent three days at Brighton under adverse weather conditions on Field Firing. A Corps Scheme "MUSH" was held on the 21st April, 1944, in which the 6th Airborne Division was pitted against the 1st Airborne Division. The Battalion performed very creditably on this Exercise. The Battalion received a large number of reinforcements from Camp Shilo, Manitoba, Canada, and they were turned over to the Training Company. The Battalion started to bring itself up to full War Establishment. |
