Enemy fire from AT gWlS located on high ground in vicinity of LA CHARTRIE was
received by leading elements imlnediately after passing thru front lines of friendly
infantry, destroying three tanks before the enemy guns were over-run and destroyed.
Exceptionally diffic ult terrain was encountered; swampy ground, s\IDken roads and.
heavy hedgerows necessitated continuous use of the tank dozer to prepare the advance.
Co D, b6th Armd Regt, advanced under heavy eneIl\Y mortar and artirlery concentrations
to a position SI of GA'n1EVO (570"'35) destroying two German mortar positions, killing
or wounding 75 German infantry and gun crews and destroying six AT Guns of large

.
Heavy eneII\Y artillery concentrations were received in the asselubly area
periodically throughout the day and night, the 1'ire following any movement of the

During this period it was notieeable of the inoreasing number or

elements ,mre ableto obtain information from oivilians and use it
in their mvements. The Belgian tmderground were found to be oOlli'letely
and were able to give accurate information. During this
advanoe the Regimental Intelligenoe Offioer was able to make oontaot
with quite a number of underground agents.
During this period oomplete ooverage in the 1/50,000 and 1/100,000
soale was issued down to include platoons. However, there were
limited distributions made on several 1/50,000 sheets. Distributions
on the 1/25,000 were also limited, thus exoluding platoons.
ENrl!Y AIR
No casualties were sustained by enemy airors.rt during this period.
Enemy aircraft in number were observed at night on several oocasions
but no oasualties were sustained.
TERRAIlT
The terrain was fair. Due to rainy the tanks could not
get off the road.s without bogging down, although in some sectors the
rolling ground and scattered woods provided gpod approaohes.
