| 23 | 'A' Sqn, who had been under command 15/19 Hussars in the EINDHOVEN area, returned to the Regiment. At midday 'B' Sqn came under command 50 Div, who had come up with 2 Bdes to clear the enemy from the area east of ST OEDENRODE. By 1600 hrs the axis was open and safe for traffic to pass up to NYJMEGEN once more. The Regiment expected to continue the march up to Corps, but was held back in the present location to help keep the axis open, and because the road was required for higher priority traffic. 'C' Sqn, still in the WEGHEL area, had a lot of trouble with enemy infantry armed with bazookas and MGs, who infiltrated into our lines. Lt. D.N. Stride was killed and 1 O.R.; and 5 O.Rs were missing. |
