| 8 | The C.O. of the R. Scots Greys came up early in the morning to see our positions and one Sqn of that Regt came up to relieve us in the late afternoon at about 1700 hrs. Both colns moved forwards and backwards respectively under cover of smoke so as to prevent the enemy tanks from being able to direct A.P. fire on our tanks as we were moving. This however did not prevent them from putting down a certain amount of H.E. but this caused no casualties or damage. The Regt. withdrew to Le Queille 678376 where we remained for a few days.Casualties were as follows: - Killed 2/Lieut. D.B. Lovelock and wounded 1 O.R. |
