HOLLAND	1		During the early hours of the morning recce parties moved from ASTEN to recce a concentration area across the Meuse, with the object of finding a concentration area for the Battalion on the east flank of the Britisch line South of NIMWEGEN, and also to receive orders for a possible operation eastwards between the Meuse and the Rhine. 185 INF BDE and 8BR INF BDE were to concentrate north of the Meuse, and 9 BR INF BDE south of it. On arrival of the recce parties it was found that there was no immidiate likelihood of an operation and apart from having looked at Germany the recce parties confined themselves to finding a concentration area in the woods south east of MALDEN. The battalion moved up in MT at 800 hours and the concentration was completed by 1500 hour. The east flank of the allied position was at present held by 85 US Airborne Div.
