The enemy has now definitely withdrawn in an Easterly direction and by 0900 hrs Bn HQ was set up in ACHEL with Coys in the village. At this time 11th Armd Div started to pass through going NORTH into HOLLAND. This movement of armour continued throughout the day.

At midday orders were received for the Bn to move up to the area of ACHEL rly station 419998 to make room for other trps of the Bde in ACHEL, and this move was carried out during the afternoon.

An unusual feature of this battle was that the Belgian civilians remained in the area throughout the fighting which was very localised, and the inhabitants of ACHEL came out and welcomed the troops as they marched in.
