    Hi
    Have just received war diary(1943-44) of 178 Field rgt. in Burma, from DREW5233.
    I am trying to decipher various terms used, some i know, some i have worked out.:unsure: But......

    What does HF Tasks and C.B. during the night, mean, when a battery is firing?

    Thanks in advance
