| Month and Year: September 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brig. G.D. Browne |

| 25 | 1900 | Again a spate of civilian reports of enemy, and the usual stream of civilians to bde HQ bringing information, requests and problems. On this occasion most civilians reports of enemy posns are quite authentic by reason of the patriotic nature of these Dutch folk. The resistance organisation here is very well organised and when approached for interpreters and guides to assist whilst here, a great number of men came to HQ willing to perform any deed that would assist in the extermination of the Boche. Guides and temporary interpreters from this organisation were placed at the disposal of OsC 2 Lincolns and 1 KOSB. Rather an interesting feature of the day was the appearance of a doctor and an ex-Dutch Officer from VENLO, in enemy occupied territory. They brought back excellent information and were sent back to Div. |
