The 5th Harines were unable to hold against the attack and were forced back to the Il!JIN RIVER. By first light the CCF forces had consolidated their position on the Mrth bank and had ri~dUO$d all effective resistance on the far side of the ll>lJIN, ~lith the exception of a pocket along the line CS 059985~T 07500S-0T 093003.
