A Coy patrols reported LOONSCHE BAAN to the East of LIESEL clear of enemy for the first thousand yards, but also a small number of enemy wandering about on the West of the Canal looking for food of which it seems they are somewhat short.

Later on 2/Lt McKenzie and patrol reported half the house in area 698120 abandoned and five or six of the enemy wandering about looking for food.

A further A Coy recce patrol drew fire from post at 714101, both MG and rifle fire.

B Coy on carriers went down the main road, drawing Mortar fire, probably from 720090, and reported MEIJEL clear of enemy, also that the Church there had been destroyed.

C Coy recce patrols reported enemy posts at 705133 and 707129 with possibly an MG on the west of the canal at 706128.

Lt McCreath and patrols captured two German POW at BROEK 701098, then went due EAST to canal but were unable to get definite information as to enemy posns.

D Coy again sent a patrol under Lt AJM Brown to the area of the suspected gun 696155 - they reported that there was definitely no gun, but that there were some enemy in trenches on the far side of the canal in this area, probably about one section strong.

A carrier patrol of 2 sections between 1600 and 1900 hrs penetrated through MEIJEL, where they were cheered by the inhabitants, much to their annoyance, and got as far as DONK 709057 where they cut East down a track to within 500 yards of the Canal.

The enemy, as well as holding the South East bank and having blown the bridge, have burned down all houses and trees obstructing their view, thus obtaining a very good field of view and fire from the South East side of the Canal.

At 1700 hrs the enemy shelled the Church in LEISEL and wounded Capt Huggan of A" Coy.

During the night there were inter-coy patrols. Two POW were captured by "B" Coy.
