There are no casualties either. "How dare you order my company out! I am pleased at the sight of a line of Belgian troops in overcoats digging in. We can see bombers weaving in and out of the smoke clouds ahead, the sparkle of heavy AA bursts and the red five-bead strings of light AA curling slowly upwards. I pull down pile after pile onto the floor and spread shavings around. I postpone my tour of the blown bridges in Brussels. I shake him off. The window is level with the loft floor so without getting out of bed I look out to see the refugees. There is an answering signal from the deck and within a few minutes a boat appears in the surf.

Wonder whether I ought to explore the woods. Then they are gone. I soon run into trouble.

18 Fd Park is settled in a barbed wire factory.

The Vilvorde job belongs to 7 Fd Coy who are in support of 12 Brigade, and their headquarters is only a mile or two away. I am climbing a hill, and I feel the tyres ploughing through sand!

Ten minutes later he is back for another lot of people, but drives the whaler onto the beach and sticks fast.

They have got the chateau this time and no mistake, taking it over from the Belgian Corps HQ. I am to leave at once as the next advanced party with Sauervein. Visit the Citadel to call on the officers of the Secteur Defensive de Lille with whom we have laid out many happy switch lines. At this moment the doctor arrives.

On the main road Graham comes alongside on his motorcycle.

"Better get going. Later there are church bells and as I go to breakfast the townspeople in their best clothes are going to church. Another group joins us led by an officer with a flashlight. A dung cart goes past the window with a shovel stuck in the top. As we draw near the Audenarde bridge traffic becomes two then four abreast, mounting the verges in attempts to gain position. When I wake it is light and I look outside; we are still horribly close inshore, engaged in pulling a destroyer off the sand. When I look round the trenches have been dug. Paul Hodgson takes the new French Liaison Officer, Sauervein, resplendant in his uniform of the Chasseurs d'Afrique, to Roubaix with the Divisional Advanced Party. The BEF is withdrawing into the area Nieuport-Dunkirk and the bridges across the Niueport-Bergues canal have to be prepared for demolition. The CO is not too keen.

I go clown to the Lys and look across the bridge to Menln, occupied by the Belgian Corps on our left.

I am to recce the Lys itself, west from Halluin, making sure that the Middlesex who have joined us to guard it do not leave any barges unsunk. They have opened the frontier again at Roubaix because a column of refugees is moving west, diverted towards Mouvaux off the main road. previous.

De Panne (French: La Panne) is a town and a municipality located on the North Sea coast of the Belgian province of West Flanders. I take the right hand lane. Aircraft still active as never before, but the section have not been disturbed again. A Belgian lad is lying on a bed and we ask if we can do anything to help him. The telephone rings; parachutists reported above the open country east of La Madeleine. We are given the map reference of 11 Corps HQ where we are to report to the BGS. We start soon after sunset.

To their disappointment it turns out that he is a member of the British Embassy trying to get away; he thought he would have a better chance dressed up as a soldier!

I bring on the section as soon as it has packed up, taking the main road to Furnes which is not overcrowded. The doctor has found an empty blue-tiled shop in the main street but it is too narrow to park a truck there so the equipment has had to be carried which makes the dinner late. Sauervein is frantic. He leads us down the road, turns right across a wooden bridge, then by grass track across a field to a wood. Harassing fire. They had to push antique furniture aside to set up their "tables 6ft" and install telephones. At Furnes when I examine the bridge a jumpy Belgian officer asks me what I am doing. No time for me to get hold, of the CRE even if 1 knew where he was. He asks me whether I am scared. The news is stimulating. No indication where the main attack is coming. There should be a left turn soon. Behaving in a very odd way and refusing to give his name, but is obviously British and hear later that he comes to his senses under John Stevens' steely influence. He's got a knife!" He takes on a full load and roars away into the darkness.

There is no going down to the river. As the doctor steps outside again a Junkers 88 roars over the roof a few feet up. He wants sandbags.

I lower the windscreen of the 8cwt truck and rest the Bren gun on the bonnet. Div HQ has settled in a large white house overlooking the River Lys valley and visible for miles. We are allotted two big empty houses in the Rue Gay Lussac but the keys cannot be found.

I can do because everybody is packing up, so I walk round the village keeping close in case a call comes through. The rest of us disperse to various buildings.
