2 Scots Guards War Diary
20 Jan 44 – 1500
The Brigadier held his Orders Group on Point 141, Monte del Duca, a bare and exposed hill just west of Minturno [the purpose of meeting here was to recce the battlefield and the objectives]. The Commanding Officer held his Orders Group in the same place immediately afterwards, but as it was not possible to get a sufficiently detailed view of the Battalion objectives, the Brigade plan was only given out and a further Order Group fixed for tomorrow at Tremensuoli, which is the next feature to the West.
