Major MILLER has now taken over Support Company, at any rate for the duration of the battle. It is becoming increasingly urgent to take HECHTEL, which is now on the direct Centre Line to the ESCAUT. Captain HENDERSON rejoined the Mortar Platoon having come back from hospital after being wounded at WAVRE.
