11th ____ AA & GQ at 230 till 500 AM. went back to same area as yesterday where we bombarded. turrit one fired 50 rounds. five inch fired most of night. In this mornings dope sheet was the following report._____ Following is a summary of the distruction (Mobile) did while firing for us. The firing was all in generally high ground. The first part of your firing silenced many machine guns & rifle fire. You destroyed two guns of unknown caliber. Mobile completely neutralized an area where there was definite mortar fire coming from. Mobile also silenced that (47MM) gun _ there were also enemy troops there & the neutralization effect of your fire was excellent. This should be of particular interest to you because your fire was placed just [?]00 to 600 yards ahead of our front lines. This mission was referred to the higher echelon of command before we were able to get clearance on this mission. Due to the excellent reputation you have & due to the inability to bring our own artillery to bear on that targets the higher echelon of command had you fire on these targets with best of results. You helped the boys up in the front lines immensely & we all appreciate it a great deal.
_____ We had AA from 1900 7 PM to 8 PM 20.00.
