Place	Date	Hour	Summary	Reference
	3		It was, therefore, found necessary to withdraw two Bns of 152 Bde and these crossed the River WAAL en route for a concentration area near S’HERTOGENBOSCH at 1400 hrs and 1700 hrs respectively. 5 Camerons of 152 Bde remained on the island, but pulled back to the area 6375 – 6475. So far the flooding had not seriously affected 154 Bde. However, the floods generally moved in a South Westerly direction to the lateral railway running between RESTEREN and NIJMEGEN. This railway, to great extent, acted as a dyke for the area to the South. Nevertheless, a certain amount of flooding to the South of the railway was inevitable.
