The enemy were thought to have crossed the MEUSE in the GEIJSTEREN area in the early morning. At 0615 trip flare went up at 823303 whereupon B Coy stood to, and at 0645 the sound of a motor boat was heard, but nothing further happened. At daylight a patrol went up to the area of the flare and found a number of enemy propaganda leaflets lying about, one schmeisser magazine and one stick grenade, all of which were not there on the previous day. Shortly after 2000 hrs a Dutchman swam the MEUSE and came into C Coy area. He was brought in and gave some valuable information before going back to higher formation.
