    Can you let us know the sentence before the confusing word, it may throw some light on what it is?

    12th: Rested and replenished in same area.????? Is now working and petrol our main difficulty to date is coming through well. Moved off 14.00 Hrs. and covered 26 miles before last light. Going was rather heavey owing to grass tussocks and speed was fast, but all vehicles arrived. Leaguered for night as usual.

    Heres the entry for the day: query3.png

    Hi
    Do you have a copy of the War Diary for Burma for the 4th Field Regiment? I had a good family friend who was 7th Sandhams Battery, 4th Field, Western Desert to Singapore[FONT=&quot][/FONT] and Indonesia in 1946.

    Regards
