	25		Considerable opposition was met in the form of shelling and mortaring and numerous snipers were lodged in the buildings en route. The first report line was reached, however, without much trouble, but much stronger opposition was met just South of the second report line which held up the 7 A. & S.H. It was later found on interrogating P.W. that the enemy were launching a counter attack approximately at the same time as the 7 A. & S.H. attack and the two attacking parties clashed.
