| " | 15 | As the 3rd British had not made good progress the Regt. with the 4 K.S.L.I. were ordered to ease to pressure on their left flank by capturing the wooded area towards Smakt, area 0031. The barrage provided in front of this attack from the west was most inaccurate and the K.S.L.I. were unable to move until the barrage was called off. B. Sqn. was the leading Sqn. supporting the K.S.L.I., whilst A. Sqn. provided flank protection to the South. No great opposition was encountered until we reached the line of the railway at 7932, although about 70 prisoners were taken. A position was taken up with the K.S.L.I. along the railway in the area just west of Smakt, whilst C. Sqn. went out to assist the Herefords who were operating against Vierlingsbeek.The Regt. leagured for the night in that area. |
