This just in from Capt Broadbent, Sir. No, they didn't take the town, Sir. He had C co. with two platoons from E company, and some 81 mm support. Sir ? Well, he told me he gained a foothold in the town, and sent screens on both flanks, but they ran into a German company which had the same ideas, and... Sir ? To cut it short, Sir, he got whittled down on both flanks, and then while he was busy on that account the Germans just ran a platoon into the town with flamethrower support, and drove him out. Casualties ? Pretty heavy, his men got shot up pretty bad. About half his force wounded or killed, Sir. Yes, Sir. No, Sir.
