Overview:
On the evening of 2 August, fearful for his open left flank, Major Robinson pushed Ned Thornburn's D Company a half-mile to the east. Digging-in around the farm of les Grands Bonfaits, the company was later reinforced by two platoons of A Company, a section of guns from the regimental anti-tank platoon, and a squadron of Shermans. Next morning, an intense barrage heralded a determined attack by 9. SS-Panzer Division, "Hohenstaufen". The tanks' commander was an old desert hand who made the mistake of forming a tight "laager" for the night instead of dispersing the squadron. The opening barrage wreaked havoc. . .Attacker: German (SS) (Kampfgruppe Meyer comprised of elements from I./SS-Panzer Regiment 9 and II./SS-Panzer Regiment "H")
Defender: British (Elements of 4th King's Shropshire Light Infantry: A Squadron, 3rd RTR/4th KSLI A/Tk Platoon/5 Rifle Platoons (7,9,16,17 and 18 Platoons))
