Recce and orders all morning for Coy and Pl Comds. The Bn were all settled in the TIENRAY area by 1430 hrs. At 1400 hrs a message was received to the effect that during the morning the Carrier Pl were ordered to send a patrol across the MOLENBEEK to the Eastern half of WANSSUM, as civilian reports indicated that the enemy had cleared out the night before. The patrol found the place empty, so the RUR sent a Coy to occupy it. The plan for the attack was then called off and by 1700 hrs the Bn was back in the same billets, with B Coy in OOSTRUM, and the Carrier Pl in the Western half of WANSSUM. Arrangements were made for B Coy to take over GEIJSTEREN 8529 and the KASTEEL area the next day. Major CG Stonor, Lieut HA Richardson and Lieut GA Duncan and 50 ORs returned to the Bn after being wounded and in hospital in England.
