Place Date Hour Summary Reference
NIJMEGEN 21   Moved to Conc. area South of NIJMEGEN (14.00 hrs) meanwhile C.O. attended "O" Gp at 214 Bde and told of 1st Airborne Div. in grave difficulties owing to shortage of arm. Decided that 214 Bde cross river at NIJMEGEN and one Bn to take DUKWS loaded with supplies. All this was very hastily prepared but no move for us that day.
