| Holland | 23 | The BN moved in transport at 0900 hours to ASTEN, advance parties having preceeded it. On the arrival of the advance parties at ASTEN it was found that 11 Armd Div was still in the process of clearing the town to increase the bridge-head and the move of the BN was held up at HEEZE until there was room for it in ASTEN. The BN eventually arrived at ASTEN at 1600 hours and took up a defensive position round the north and east of the town, with 1 Norfolk round the west and 2 KSLI in position for close protection of the bridge over the canal. There was some shell fire during the day. |
