VLEUT near EINDHOVEN	15		5 Camerons started off the day with a silent raid in enemy posn at wood 370287. The raid was not entirely successful as the enemy greeted the blackened raiders with ill directed grenades and mortar bombs before running away. No Pw were taken, no claims for scalps were registered and no cas were sustained by 5 Camerons. At 1230 hrs 2 Derby Yeo raided another enemy posn. Four tks were again in sp. Enemy were seen running away as tks flushed woods with Mg fire so that when the inf arrived they found no enemy to deal with. The score of the raid turned out even - no cas either side. Those two raids stirred the enemy into some reaction and a good deal of shelling was put down in Bde area during the rest of the day. For patrols for night 15/16 Oct see Appx.
