| 27 | 'C' Sqn came back to the Regiment. In the afternoon the Regiment, less 'D' Sqn, moved up to be near 30 Corps H.Q., 3 miles south of NYJMEGEN. On arrival there the news was received that the Regiment was now back under command 12 Corps, who were back at SON, but we were fortunately not required back there immediately. 'D' Sqn was still under command the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry and was patrolling the GERMAN frontier south-east of NYJMEGEN. 'A' Sqn spent a most uncomfortable night, being shelled continuously, with the result that their I.M. and 1 O.R. were killed and 3 O.Rs wounded. |
