Place	Date	Hour	Summary	Reference
	26		At 0900 hours 7 Black Watch crossed the bridge at 323400 and instead of using the road to VUGHT as their axis, swung along the the side road to the East of the main road. No opposition was met for approximately 2,000 yards when 7 Black Watch then ran up against a road block with some infantry behind it. This was soon mopped up and 7 Black Watch successfully continued their advance after finding a way round the road block about 1005 hours. Beyond this there was little opposition apart from a few odd snipers which were dealt with as encountered. At 1020 hours 7 Black Watch came in contact with some enemy infantry and spandaus at 322422 but soon overcame this and reached their third report line, X roads 318422 at 1030 hours.
