17th Airborne and 51st Highland Division make Contact

I received a question about documentation regarding the contact made between the US 17th Airborne Division and the British 51st Highland Division north of Bastogne along the Ourthe River. Here is what I found in my files. See the entry for 14 January. If anyone has images or more documentation to post, please do so.

 

Had a look in the 51st divsional history by Salmond but no mention of it.
Could do with someone working out what unit they contacted & see what it says in their war diary.

 

A patrol from my fathers regiment, 5th Queens own Cameron Highlanders, met up with elements of 347th Infantry Company I, at Noir Bras on 14th January. As far as I know that was the first meeting of the two nationalities in the Ardennes. There is a photo of the meeting on a Ardenne thread on here somewhere. Tried to paste a link but will not let me. The thread was Brits in the Ardenne.
