LIESEL Tuesday 26 September 1944 Next Next Start Location: LIESEL End Location: LIESEL A Coy patrols reported LOONSCHE BAAN to the East of LIESEL clear of enemy for the first thousand yards, but also a small number of enemy wandering about on the West of the Canal looking for food of which it seems they are somewhat short. Later on 2/Lt McKenzie and patrol reported half the house in area 698120 abandoned and five or six of the enemy wandering about looking for food. A further A Coy recce patrol drew fire from post at 714101, both MG and rifle fire. B Coy on carriers went down the main road, drawing Mortar fire, probably from 720090, and reported MEIJEL clear of enemy, also that the Church there had been destroyed. C Coy recce patrols reported enemy posts at 705133 and 707129 with possibly an MG on the west of the canal at 706128. Lt McCreath and patrols captured two German POW at BROEK 701098, then went due EAST to canal but were unable to get definite information as to enemy posns. D Coy again sent a patrol under Lt AJM Brown to the area of the suspected gun 696155 - they reported that there was definitely no gun, but that there were some enemy in trenches on the far side of the canal in this area, probably about one section strong. A carrier patrol of 2 sections between 1600 and 1900 hrs penetrated through MEIJEL, where they were cheered by the inhabitants, much to their annoyance, and got as far as DONK 709057 where they cut East down a track to within 500 yards of the Canal. The enemy, as well as holding the South East bank and having blown the bridge, have burned down all houses and trees obstructing their view, thus obtaining a very good field of view and fire from the South East side of the Canal. At 1700 hrs the enemy shelled the Church in LEISEL and wounded Capt Huggan of A" Coy. During the night there were inter-coy patrols. Two POW were captured by "B" Coy.

Tuesday 19 December 1944 Next Next Start Location: End Location: A good day. During the morning B Coy reported that 3 Germans had been seen in the GEIJSTEREN area. A search was immediately organised and was eventually rewarded at about 1300 hrs by the capture of a patrol of six. They seemed a goodish type but proved quite talkative when interrogated. Amongst other information they gave what they said was their method of getting a boat over to collect them should they lose their own. Based on this information a trap was laid at night along the banks of the river but unfortunately did not lure the enemy into our bank tho' there was reason to believe that he came a certain distance over. C Coy however made up for the disappointment on B Coys front by bagging a couple of civilians in WANSSUM in the evening, who later broke down completely under interrogation and confessed that they were short term agents who had crossed the river at WELL. They also gave information re other agents who had crossed and once again a signal to get a boat over to pick them up two days later. This information was passed on to our friends.
