Place	Date	Hour	Summary	Reference
1/100,000 Sheet 5 S’HERTOGENBOSCH	1		The first few days in what was generally known as the "Island” area, i.e., the area between the NEDER EIJN and the River WAAL was very quiet and the only enemy activity was in the form of spasmodic shelling in the LIENDEN and ELST areas. The greatest threat in the area was that the enemy would blow the dykes in an attempt to flood the island and thereby force us to withdraw across the River WAAL.
