  • Description: Units serving with the Guards Armoured Division (as seen here, the 55th Field Regiment RA, the 94th LAA Regiment RA, the 2nd Armoured Recce. and 1st Battalions Welsh Guards) receive a warm welcome from the people of Eindhoven on the day following their liberation by the 101st US Airborne Division and the Irish Guards Group. The principal scenes include two Welsh Guardsmen giving their autographs to some admiring Dutch girls, a little boy coaxing a stubborn-minded goat into pulling a cart carrying two of his playmates, watched by Welsh Guardsmen sitting in the back of a Bedford QLD lorry, and a municipal official posting a Royal Netherlands proclamation formally announcing the return of Dutch rule.
