  • Summary:
  • Description: On the lookout for German snipers and machine-gun posts, members of a patrol from the 1st Battalion Royal Leicester Regiment's 'S' Company made their way along the main Antwerp-Breda road through countryside three miles north of Wuustwesel on the Dutch-Belgian border. The lieutenant in command radios back to company HQ over a No 18 wireless set (strapped onto the back of one of the patrol members) and scans the surrounding countryside through his binoculars at the site of a wrecked farm. Three patrol members, including the detachment's Bren-gunner, are seen in position among hay bales.
