Summary: 29th Armoured Brigade Group advances eastward from Valkenswaard to Someren and the Zuidwillemsvaart Canal.
Description: In dull and misty weather, the 2nd Fife and Forfar Yeomanry's armour and motorised infantry belonging to the 1st Battalion Hereford Regiment advance over heath land and through clumps of gorse, bracken and larch trees between Valkenswaard and Leende. A troop of Sherman and Firefly tanks each carrying a section of infantry, turns off the main road leading through the Dutch village of Leende (?) and heads down a narrow track, accompanied by a jeep and a universal carrier from the Hereford Regiment. An infantry section dashes across a road to deal with a German machine-gun post; the section's bren-gunner opens fire at the Germans lying concealed on the other side of an unharvested barley (?) field.
