N°342 Sqn air attack on K.775934

Hello,
October 29th, 1944, six Boston of N°342 Sqdn and six of N°88 sqdn were detailled to attack a rail road bridge at K.775934.
I suppose that it is about the rail road bridge of Venlo ( Holland) already attacked the day before.
Could anybody confirm it to me?
What means K.775934? Is it a coordinate on a card either the code of an objective?
Thank's in advance for answering
Regards
Franck

On the Nord de Guerre Grid, vK775934 translates to a river crossing just north of Roermond, at Buggenum, a bit southwest of Venlo.

Thank you very much.
It confirms that it is indeed about the attack of a rail road bridge, to cut the retreat of the German forces, the border line being not so far.
