At 13.00 hrs Sgt PRINCES patrol returned having been out since 08.00 hrs 2/5. He had been on the ridge at Pt1433 and found it impossible to move S to 1440 to relieve the other patrol so he went EAST and down the chaung as far as SINON and AKABYAN 4536 - 4535. Going down the chaung at 4436, the patrol encountered a party of 8 Japs bathing and heard several more around the corner. Sgt Prince and one man both arrived with T.S.M.Gs stepped out and on seeing them the Japs screamed for mercy. Sgt Prince gave the order to fire and 1 gun fired one shot and jammed and the other gun jammed without firing. The one shot hit one of the enemy. Many track signs were observed and pieces of paper with Jap inscriptions were brought back by the patrol. All other patrols cancelled and the patrol from HKAMWEYWA was recalled. |
