Major 'Pat' Wall and Lieutenant Kingsley who led a patrol across the river in advance of the main crossing. For two days this patrol maintained themselves across the river without food, inflicting casualties on German patrols and wading up to their shoulders across the maze of streams that intersect the Biesboch Delta between the Maas and the Waal.
