| LILLE | 5 | RHQ harboured in the City centre at last light and the Sqns formed a defence round the city blocking the main entrance. B Sqn patrols succeeded in reaching ROUBAX H7742 and TOURCOING H7646 and reported them clear, thus completing the task which was anticipated would require the whole Division. During the whole of this move the Regt. was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm by the local population. |
