| Month and Year: September 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Major W.E.N. Davis |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | We moved off at 0600 hrs to an area just south of VEGHEL where we harboured temporarily at 468338 and had breakfast, the idea being to put an attack in on the north and south side of the Canal towards HERTOGENBOSCH which was held in strength as an escape route for the enemy from south to north. This was cancelled and another plan tried. The enemy was found to be south of the canal and not north and DINTHER was occupied by the 1/5 and it was decided to cross the canal from north to south during the night with the 1/6 Queens. Coy HQ moved to 500366 with 12 and 14 Pls. 13 Pl remained with 1/5 at DINTHER and 15 Pl with 1/7 who remained in their same area on the left of the OUDENRODE – VEGHEL road. The crossing of the canal was tried by night but was not a success. |
