; at last the relief..................From the German border to Belgian-French frontier – May 1940.
On May 26 1940, at dawn antitank alarm; a Recce Patrol of five men was detached to deal with, but in reaching the spot, reported it was an old out of service truck. At noon and evening, heavy aerial attacks against Lille and Roubaix. Around 22:00 hours came our replacements, the advance guard of the 253 ID.
