War Diary mentions

26 September 1944 WO 171/1354 - 3 Royal Northumberland Fusiliers
The road from OUDENRODE to VEGHEL was cleared and traffic once more able to get through and get supplies up to the Guards Armd Div, 43 Div and the Airborne troops in the NIJMEGEN area, but the road was under continuous shell-fire. Sgt. Grimmer of 13 Pl was badly wounded in the neck and Fus. McCabe who remained at duty was also slightly wounded. The attack on SCHINDEL was not a success and the enemy there was in far greater strength than had at first been thought. We remained in the same area. 11 Reinforcements arrived.
