The story
On August 20, the Armoured Car Squadron is transferred to the 6th Airborne Armoured Recce Regiment, due to the Brigade's advance being halted by numerous demolished bridges. The 6th Airborne Armoured Recce has been sorely tried since landing on D-Day and the commander of the regiment (Lt Col Godfrey STEWART) was overjoyed to have the Belgian Squadron available to resume the contact with the enemy in the direction of Dozule-Annebault. The rest of the Brigade is moved towards Auberville.
