controlling consideration was mine clearance of roads and for that
reason it was impossible in many instances to furnish some units with
close support where they proceeded cross-country and TD units were res
tricted to mine covered roads.
16 AUGUST 44

platoons to direct fire positions in support of Infantry Regiments
