| 6 | Commanding Officer via Major Mitchell controlled D.F. Fire to ring round the pivot. Situation was complicated by another enemy attack on 23 H position to the N.E. of Mon pivot. As many guns as possible were called for by the Commanding Officer on fire targets around the pivot to seal off the pivot from further penetration. Five enemy tanks had got in during the initial attack of which four were destroyed by the infantry and one remained at large. Rate 2 was kept up for nearly an hour and the policy of sealing off the pivot was finally successful and the attack repelled. |
