The story
Near Ronai the leading squadron ran into a column of guns and horse-drawn transport which it dealt with effectively, but they continued to have considerable trouble from German tanks and SP guns to their front and open left flank.
The Sharpshooters meanwhile had got down the steep wooded ridge further west, but were held up at a village covering the exit from the woods.
