1st KOSB War Diary for date of wounds
A plan was made during the morning for 2/Lincs to close up to the line of the railway at 717355 and for us to pass through and hold the Southern approaches to the town.
Accordingly by 1230 hrs the Bn was concentrated in the area 712370 and the attack started at 1500 hrs. Few enemy were encountered and there was spasmodic shelling.
Ten P.W. were taken and one Officer P.W. wounded on a patrol.
Final positions were Bn HQ 714358 and Coys at 714347, 717347, 723347, 717353.
During the afternoon a patrol of "B" Coy went out on carriers down main road to 714358 where they were effectively halted by S.A. and Mortar fire.
One P.W. was brought in during the night. All P.W. taken knew nothing of what was really happening and a large percentage of them were under 20 years old.
