5th Infantry Division was handed over to VI Corp, who stationed them at sector Halle of the Albert Canal.

Although the Germans have not breached the Albert Canal, the high command is preparing for a retreat to the K-W line.

Then the British Expeditionary Forces arrive and the 5th Infantry Division’s flank becomes a position of confusion.

After a new line was established, the 5th Infantry Division was positioned in the village of Erpe, then, under VI Corp, made its way to the Semmerzake-Munte Sector.

Even after the Allied forces in Flanders were encircled, the Germans diverted their attention onto breaching the Northern defense.

Although minor fighting was for the VI Corp, the 2nd Infantry Division had experienced a attack from the Germans and morale wavered.
