During the early hours of the morning the Suffolks attacked the wood North East of WANSSUM, with a squadron of tanks and Kangaroos.
27 POW were taken during the complete operation.
Apparently as soon as the enemy heard tanks they started pulling out of the wood.
As for the last two days visibility was poor but OPs saw movement in VELDEN 9014, and enemy with handcarts at 9014 and 9116. Individual enemy movement was also seen at 9016.
A few shells and mortar bombs landed in the area just North of GRUBBENVORST during the day. A quiet night.
