1 Welsh Guards advance further to Montchamp
In the evening the Battalion was ordered to advance further, to MONTCHAMP, but at the beginning of the attack, the Commanding Officer was most unfortunately wounded by a sniper in civilian clothes, whilst looking out of his Scout car, and had a miraculous escape from death.
MONTCHAMP
Only about two hours’ time had been allowed for preparation and information was practically non-existent, save that the town was believed to be held.
It later transpired that 9 S.S. Panzer Division was in reserve just South of the town with a counter-attack role on the town itself.
