| 17 | At approx 1800 hrs, 'A' Sqn moved 2 tps across the bridge in support of a coy of the Mons. These came under considerable small arms fire, and managed to reach the high ground at 983247. During this period heavy enemy mortar fire was brought down on the area of the rd leading to the bridge and the bridge area, causing considerable casualties to our infantry. Orders were received to push further forward and it was decided to move two up, 'B' Sqn right, in support of a coy, and 'C' Sqn left. This attack moved through the position held by 'A' Sqn and came under considerable Spandau fire and bazooka fire. Owing to the advance of the 23H and Rifle Bde on our left, we were not able to push on as the regts were coming at right angles together with a strong pocket of enemy in between. The infantry consolidated on the ground gained and the Regt leaguered just behind them.Casualties were: - Killed - Lieut. A.N.G. Munroe and 1 O.R.- Wounded - 2 O.Rs. |
