The story
The 3rd/4th CLY had moved on to the North and took up positions NW of Oudenarde and were on high ground with instructions to protect the Lines of Communications running through Oudenarde.
They made contact with the enemy at the villages of Wortegem, Knock and Nokere, destroying many guns and lorries, plus taking many prisoners. 'A' Squadron pushed on to the town of Cruyhauten (Cruysrede, Sint-Lievens-Houtem?), killing a large number of enemy infantry, before linking up with a patrol of 11th Hussars.
