Carefully organized, with aerial and artillery support, operation Plunder took place near Rees on 23 March, using amphibious vehicles and landing craft to ferry men and equipment across, a formidable undertaking.
The following day in the afternoon, the Canadians came up against considerable German opposition near the village of Bienen, and on 25 March, the North Nova Scotia Highlanders attacked across open ground against a determined enemy. They soon lost the initiative according to the War Diary ‘and contact between platoons was next to impossible because of the murderous fire and heavy mortaring’. 43 Novas were killed that day including both Ralph Boulter, aged 27 and his brother-in-law Edison Smith.
