  • Description: Filming from a first floor window, the cameraman observes three Sherman tanks belonging to the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry's 'B' squadron bound for Raamsdonck and a jeep carrying the CO of the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders drive through Loon-op-Zand shortly after its capture. Guarded by Scottish troops, Wehrmacht prisoners-of-war neatly arrange the graves of recently buried comrades while, nearby, a Scottish padre conducts a burial service for other German soldiers killed in action.
