Letters, diaries and photographs from World War II

Monday 18th September 1944

The conference took place at Brigade but beyond getting to know a few of the chaps it wasn’t much good. Had dinner at Brigade in the evening. Found the BM very good company.

 

Notes: A brigade is a major tactical military formation that is typically composed of three to six battalions plus supporting elements. It is roughly equivalent to an enlarged or reinforced regiment. Two or more brigades may constitute a division.

BM = Brigadier Major
