In the evening D Coy on moving forward had one platoon ambushed but suffered no casualties. Before leaving HQ HOPFORCE COL HOPKINS suggested that by holding the feature Pt 191 South of the Pass its force would be able to carry out the role of covering both approaches to INDIN more adequately. This he decided to do 1 pl C Coy was withdrawn to the pass area at 2300 hrs and the withdrawal was carried on during the night. Remarks: COMMAND POST included the AA platoon and the FIGHTING PATROL.
