| 28 | At 0900 hours the BN moved to LIESSEL by march route and by 1100 hours the take over from KOSB was completed. A little shell fire in this area. Orders were received from Bde that information about the enemy defences east of the DEURNE Canal was urgently required and during the night three patrols were sent out from 'A', 'B' and 'C' Coys to get this information. All these patrols had small "skirmishes" with enemy defences on the east bank of the canal, and it was established that the enemy was holding the canal in some strenght. Lt. Merryweather of 'A' Coy was very slightly wounded in one of these clashes. Three Other Rank re-inforcements received during the day. |
