The I British Corps launched their attack on October 23, in order to drive from the South Beveland isthmus towards the important Hollands Diep waterway, hoping to squeeze the Germans into a smaller space. The Corps comprised the 4th Canadian Division, 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade, 1st Polish Armoured Division, the newly arrived US 104th Timberwolves infantry division and the British 49th Polar Bears Division supported by the 34th Armoured Brigade.Forty p. 136
