The 2 LINCOLNS having captured and consolidated WINNEKENDONK during the night, an armoured div was due to pass through and break through to the RHINE.


At about 1000 hrs the Bn changed dispositions, which were then as follows:-


HQ 001367,

A Coy 008362,

B Coy 007359,

C Coy 004351,

D Coy 002350

and the RAP remained where it had been throughout the battle, at 991367.


Civilians encountered were all farmer type and interested in nothing much else.


During the morning the RUR passed through WINNEKENDONK and took up position in the woods to the SOUTH.
