24 January 1945

A very quiet day.


During the afternoon the Army and Corps Commanders, General Dempsey and General Barker came into GRUBBENVORST to look South East across the river from the OPs.


Less movement than usual was seen from OPs and only at 9117.


Just after dark some persons were seen between the Mortar Pl and "B" Coy. They were thought at the time to be enemy, but no trace of them could be found, otherwise a quiet night.


During the afternoon 2 Lincolns moved into the area to the North of 2 RUR in place of 2 WARWICKS.
