Turowski's patrol consisting of eight men came across German patrol of fifteen men, both sides at once opened fire.

By discharging what was still left of his ammunition from two Sten guns at the enemy. It was only due to Turowski's gallant and prompt action that it was made possible to evacuate his seriously wounded comrade to the nearest Aid Post."
