| ANTWERP | 5-6 | But the main trouble was in the MERYEN and WYMEGEN area N.W. of ANTWERP where the enemy took advantage of the halt of our adv. to organise a comparatively strong force. But the chief feature of our short stay in the ANTWERP area was the incredible enthusium and generoisity of the people. The Belgians had all through shown themselves to be more enthusiastic than the French, but in ANTWERP any member of 11 Armd Div could do no wrong, and we all left with invitations to return at the first opportunity. | See Appdix A |
