|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | The Regt at 0200 hrs crossed the SEINE by a floating Bailey Bridge at LES ANDELAYS under the moonlight shadow of Richard Coeur de Lion's Castle - it was a picturesque but freezing scene. The Regt went into bivouac at VILLERS EN VEXIN not far from LES ANDELAYS. Accommodation was very limited and a big percentage of the Regt had to set about making themselves comfortable in the orchards. |
