	22		A patrol from 'C' Sqn left at first light to search for Lt. Goodall, MC. The house from which he had been watching was found to be empty and no clue of any kind was found to show what had happened. No shots or firing had been heard either yesterday or during the night from that area. In the circumstances there is reason to suppose that he was ambushed by an enemy patrol as he left the house. The house had been used previously for an OP. Last night a German patrol attacked the North post at BOXMEER manned by 63 A.Tk Regt. The patrol was driven off by SA fire from the post. One German was killed and one believed wounded, as the empty wrapping of a first field dressing was found. 63 A.Tk Regt suffered no casualties. Heavy rain during most of the day. Little enemy movement seen.
