|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 | The BN position at LIESSEL was to be taken over during the day by the Americans and the BN moved to a concentration area at LIEROP at 0600 hours by march route; the carrier PL and two Dets of Mortars were left behind at LIESSEL as a screen until the Americans had taken over. The Amercan unit did not take over Liessel until 1830 hours and was considered to be not strong enough to hold the position without some backing up , and so the BN was ordered back from LIEROP to its original position in ASTEN, where it spent the night. |
