On Saturday, October 28, 1944, Loon op Zand finally fell into Scottish hands after heavy fighting. But the capture had taken too long for the commander of the 51st Highland Division, Major General Tom Rennie. Worse still, the German defenders had escaped to Kaatsheuvel. Rennie decided not to give them any rest. Therefore, the 5th Battalion of the Black Watch was ordered to continue the advance during the night.
