| 8 | A very quiet day. The Companies spent their time sleeping off the effects of the last operation. A German warehouse full of wine had been found and we were allowed to draw one bottle per man – arrangements were made for collection tomorrow. The men were allowed into the town for 2 hrs, and most people got a look round. Trams are running and things are gradually returning to normal, although mortars are still firing from the boulevards at Germans across the SCHELDT. | App D9 |
