| Month and Year: November 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt.Col. H.W. Lloyd |

| 15 | The advance of 12 Corps has gone well. This morning two bns were reported across the WESSEM CANAL, East of WEERT and two bns across the CANAL DU NORD, NE of WEERT. Our tps are now advancing towards GRATHEM. Meanwhile 8 Corps is now advancing and has occupied MEIJEL, which was evacuated yesterday by the enemy. So far there has been only slight opposition, but heavy mine-laying and boggy ground makes the going slow. Later in the day 53 Div (12 Corps) captured GRATHEM and 51 (H) Div (12 Corps) captured HEIJTHUIJZEN. On our own front there was the usual patrol activity, otherwise N.T.R. Dull, but no rain. |
