The story
The first vehicle crosses the Belgian border in Rongy at 04.36 p.m..
Where also waits the general Sir Alexander Stanier of the Armoured Division of Guards.
The frenzy of the freed Belgian populations welcome the Brigade to Antoing, Leuze and Ath, until Enghien where they should wait for the instructions of the general ADAIR. The Group spends there the night.
