10 The Highland Light Infantry attack at Hohenhorn
At 08.00 hours on the 2nd, therefore, " B " and" C " Companies went forward to the attack, supported each by a troop of tanks from the Coldstream Guards. Some small arms fire on the outskirts of the village caused us to deploy, but with the fire support of the tanks we were soon enabled to deal with the enemy, and columns of smoke began to rise from the houses. (Even so, the tank men were heard to express disappointment. that the village was " only half on fire"). About 40 marines were taken in the villagemembers of a Flak school in Hamburg. They said they had replaced some rather decrepit Wehrmacht troops the previous night. With special attention to the death by a sniper: 14246910 Pte. HARDIE, Alastair. This part of Back to Normandy - the story of the 10 The Highland Light Infantry - is dedicated to him and his family and his unit.
