| 30 | The battallion moved by march route to take over from 3 BR Inf Div Recce during the morning and the take over was completed by 1200 hours. The battallion is disposed as follow:- 'D'Coy in VIERLINGSBEEK with one platoon in GROENINGEN, 'B'Coy in VORTUM with one platoon in GROENINGEN. 'A' Coy in BRAKKENHOF 7636 and 'C' in LACTARIA 7335 both being left out for training. Bn HQ in HOF 7835. This gave the battalion a front nearly six-thousand yards to hold with two Coys but the most of the area on its front was extensively flooded and it was not thought likely that anything more than very small patrols could cross the MAAS and the floods. |
