| 24 | A.M.: The following personnel of the L.A.D. were wounded by shell fire while proceeding to be attached to L.A.D., 20 Anti-tank Regiment. Cfn McLean, Cfn Yorke, Cfn Guppy, Cfn Pearson, Cfn Field and Cfn Jellett. The Vehicle had just pulled up to inquire the way when the shell burst in a tree above. There has been very heavy rain the last three days and the River Maas is rapidly flooding. It is worst in the SAMBEEK (249 Battery) area. If the flooding gets any worse it may be necessary for 249 Battery to abandon their positions. It is thought the situation has been aggravated by the Germans tampering with the flood banks. It is still raining hard. |
