The story
On the 2nd 1/5th Queen's captured a V1 flying bomb site, with 400 prisoners. Meanwhile, with 8th Hussars and the 1/5th Queen's infantry crossed the Authie and advanced on Frevent and St. Pol.
At St. Pol strong resistance was met and a tough fire ensued, with 8th Hussars and the 1/5th Queen's infantry eventually flushing most of the enemy out, except for a small force with three anti-tank guns. This was left for the 1/7th Queen's to mop up at their leisure the next day.
