Summary: Supported by the 6th Guards Tank Brigade, the 15th (Scottish) Division is rapidly transferred from Tilburg to meet a German counter-attack in the Meijel sector of 8th Corps' front.
Description: Churchill tanks from the 4th Tank Battalion Grenadier Guards's No 1 Squadron move up to reinforce 44th Brigade's defensive positions near Liesel and Slot. Major Pike, brigade-major and temporary squadron commander, holds an 'O' group with four troop leaders (all wearing one-piece tank overalls). Churchill tanks from the Grenadier Guards' No 3, No 2 and headquarter squadrons (in that order) are seen moving up through woods and cultivated fields to the front. A two-man Vickers machine-gun detachment from the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment's 'A' company digs-in and lays down harassing fire on German positions in and around Liesel.
