Place	Date	Hour	Summary	Reference
	16		Interrogation of P.W. captured by 7 Black Watch disclosed some very interesting facts, e.g., P.W. from 2 Coy 741 A.Tk unit stated that they were in reserve to the Regiment Hermann and that their task was to delay our advance as much as possible before withdrawing over the MEUSE. This delaying action was carried out by mines rather than by opposition on the ground. Information that 12 × 75 mm guns were seen passing through HORN at 1600 hours and infantry concentrated in the area 7597 confirmed the opinion that the enemy were withdrawing.
