| 2 | The Enemy had left ARRAS the previous day, and the population was overjoyed to see us. The Battalion witnessed some remarkable spectacles in the town – notably the treatment of women 'Collaborators' who suffered the indignity of being marched through the town under escort and then having their hair cut from their heads. In the evening we were warned to moVe on the following day, still in the wake of the Guards Armoured Division, who were now directed on BRUSSELS. |
