| 28 | The Squadron of East Riding Yeomanry advanced to a ridge in front of our position and came under intense fire from M.Gs. and Anti-Tank guns firing from LA BIJUDE, MALON and CHATEAU itself. Against this punishing attack they could make no headway, though on three separate occasions they tried, with great gallantry, to push forward beyond the ridge. In consequence, B Company were pinned down on their start line, unable to advance. |
