| 1 | 1700 | Regt reached the main ARRAS road but no signs of any Bosche about. "B" Sqn followed on behind S.R. Yeo. into DOULLENS, where several hundred PW were taken. The rest of the Regt continued on Northwards towards IVERGNY. F.F.I. reported 300 enemy in wooded area of LUCHEUX. This proved to be partly true, but they offered no resistance and the wood was cleared quickly, produced 65 PW of a Battery of 1252 Army Arty Regt. The advance was continued towards IVERGNY in search of Germans, and the PW were marched down to BOUQUE MAISON to the hilarious joy of the villagers. Other Bosche joined the column and by 1930 hrs the bag totalled 90. These were handed over to the F.F.I. |
