Month and Year: September 1944 (Erase heading not required). Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. I.L. Reeves
Place Date Hour Summary Reference
BUDEL 20 1700 We crossed the Dutch frontier at about 1700 hrs, and dug in round the village of BUDEL. We ordered a curfew at 2100 hrs to get the civilians out of the way. Everyone seemed quite pleased to see us and they waved orange flags with much gusto. 3 prisoners were taken during the occupation of the new area – they had been hiding in air raid shelters.
