The new Island Commander Jersey assumed command of 319th Infantry Division. Early September brought heightened readiness, mine-clearance preparations and an action between German motor torpedo boats, Allied aircraft and an enemy destroyer in the sea area of the Channel Islands.

Storms interrupted island traffic, while nightly heightened readiness continued during periods favourable for attack.
