15 april 1945 WO 171/5292 - 1 Worcestershire Regiment
At 05.00 hrs heavy and accurate shelling from 2 S.P. Guns on the bridgehead was the prelude to a determined counter-attack by 200 Inf supported by 2 Panther Tanks. This attack had some initial success, as the two leading Platoons suffered casualties including Lt. Smith killed, but Lt. Crossingham's Pl remained firm and inflicted severe casualties on the enemy. "A" Coy rallied, led by Maj P. G. Hall and what was a dangerous situation was in hand. After further enemy attempts to reach the bridge had failed owing to heavy and accurate small arms fire, enemy tanks and infantry withdrew. This attack cost the enemy 40 dead, 30 or 40 wounded and 60 P's W.
