| 21 | Liaison with loading elements of 11 Armd Div coming north towards GELDROP and HELMOND was effected during the day and the Bn front was gradually coverd. It was thought that the Bn would move on some time in the evening but the day was one of uncertainty about times. In the afternoon the Gp received order to concentrate preparatory to a move. The Adjutant left immediatly to recce the new area south west of NIJMEGEN. The Bn was lined up on the road leading into EINDHOVEN at about 1800 hrs, but did not move before 2000 hrs. The Bn took about three hours getting clear of EINDHOVEN on account of traffic blocks, diversions etc and began to arrive about 0700 hrs after a very tiring night march, which at one time might have been interfered with by the enemy in the area of VEGHEL E 4838. Bn harboured in the woody country around DE DIERVORT E 6656 and were in by 0730. |
