| 8 | By night a strong patrol of "B" Company, under Major J.W. Hyde, and two troops of tanks from 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry attempted to move down into CAEN. Progress was seen obstructed by the ruin and havoc wrought in the town and its approaches by RAF bombing. Some mines were encountered, and, once it was felt that an advance in daylight would save casualties, the march in was postponed until the following day. |
