| 15 | GOC 30 Corps Lt.Gen. Sir B. Horrocks C.B., DSO visited the Regt in the Casino Cinema. The address was most inspiring being devided into three parts (a) Praise of and an account of the doings of 2 HCR (b) An account of the adv and ops carried out by 30 Corps (c) A foreword of the future in which he prophesised that we should have to fight all the way to BERLIN. The whole Regt was most proud and greatly inspired by Gen. Horrock's address. Leave was now being given out on a more generous scale - for offrs 48 hrs came round about once a month and the excellent Eye Club run at BRUSSELS for personnel of Gds Armd Div was a great success - for other ranks owing to the vast numbers involved arrangements were at first slow but by the end of the month 3 schemes for leave to ANTWERP and BRUSSELS was in force and about 40-50 per week were sent off.
