Scotland the Brave 1 - Monster Map Set

Gavrus, Normandy, 29 June 1944: The quiet morning was the calm before the storm. The Argylls were aware of their precarious position, at the very tip of the “Scottish Corridor”. All communications had to come down the one road to the north, which by afternoon was under fire along its entire length, from le Valtru to Cheux. German armor could be heard to the south, and occasionally seen around nearby Bougy. The companies had their dinner and rest periods were organized. At ten minutes past three, the attack began. The first assault came directly from Bougy, to hit B Company’s forward platoon, whose covering antitank gun was pulled out just before the platoon was surrounded. The attack continues for over five hours, the German infantry receiving both tank support and accurate artillery shelling. Extra antitank guns were rushed to the perimeter just in time, and together with PIATs succeeded warding off the armor. When the Germans used a sunken road to infiltrate the British right flank, the southerly part of the village had to be abandoned. The defensive line was re-formed in the woods below the village. Still, repeated counter attacks drove the German infantry back, while the dedicated support of 495 Field Battery, R.A. took its toll of the attackers. By nightfall, the attack had withered away, and it was possible to evacuate the Argylls’ wounded.
