| 6 | Getting through BRUSSELS was a very difficult problem owing to the masses of people swarming around and even on the transport to give us a really rousing reception. Everyone wanted to show us the way through the town (most of the people could speak English) and that was almost necessary as the signs already put down by our Recce Party had been picked up as souvenirs. Part of the column did get lost in the town – at the best of times the maze of streets in BRUSSELS is difficult – but eventually the whole column was grouped in the BOIS DE LA CAMBRE and Companies took up defensive positions. |
