Summary: 15th (Scottish) Division's 46th Brigade creates a bridgehead over the Voorste Stroom at Oisterwijk prior to cutting the Tilburg - s'Hertogenbosch road.
Description: Some of the remaining inhabitants of Oisterwijk, a village seven kilometres north-east of Tilburg, follow infantrymen from the 7th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders as they march over a level-crossing to cross the Tilburg- Boxtel railway line shortly after the capture of a bridgehead over the Voorste Stroom. A jeep from a 12th Corps troops unit is seen overtaking the infantry on the level-crossing. A troop of Churchill tanks belonging to the 3rd Tank Battalion Scots Guards' 'Right Flank' squadron moves up past six-pounder anti-tank gun detachments from either the 2nd Glasgow Highlanders' or the Seaforths' support company and is followed by two more Churchill tanks together with a Churchill ARV and an M5 half-track from the tank squadron's REME detachment.
