WAR DIARY
SUMMARY OF EVENTS AND INFORMATION
A very quiet day.
The OP in the KASTEEL had nothing to report.
The 33 Fd Regt OP in the house at 833291 saw a fair amount of movement during the day in the WELL - ELSTEREN area, and also smoke coming from some of the houses there. The flooding was fairly extensive in that area on the Eastern bank especially, sometimes to a depth of over a thousand yards.
