Regiment 4th Wiltshire
Location Hohne Camp, Germany
Entry Capt. J.V. Keene posted on strength. 10 Poles robbed a house at HASSELHORST (X4771) in the Bn area, and the farmers daughters were wounded and reped. The Poles made off before our troops arrived at the scene. At WALLE a farmer was murdered. There are no details about this incidient, as the farmer was working alone with a horse and cart. The horse returned alone to the farm in the evening, whereupon a search was made, but the body was not found until daylight.
