The story
Reached Muids, our first objective, at dawn. Very little opposition except for a few shots from snipers and occasional bursts of machine gun fire. Received a great welcome from the locals after they got over the shock of German then British troops passing through. Took our final objective, a hill top outside of the village without seeing the enemy.
