Historical Background:
After the capture of Silvolde and Varsseveld, the 8th British Armoured Brigade had to cross the Twente Canal. German troops had destroyed all bridges at Delden, but a crossing was possible using the lock in the south-west of Delden. B company of 12th King's Royal Rifle Corps tried to capture the lock by a bold attack, but the German defenders repelled the British attack by an heavy fire of mortars and machine-guns. The 12th KRRC suffered heavy losses in this attempt. Twente Canal was crossed some time after at Hengelo by units of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division.
