44 Royal Tank Regiment attack near Evrecy
The 29th June was a day of fierce fighting and heavy loss. A massive German counter attack around Evrecy, west of Caen. The 44th RTR lost 13 tanks and 3 damaged, with 9 men killed, 27 wounded and 9 missing during the one day on the right flank.
The Germans made constant efforts to penetrate both flanks of the narrow salient in the valley of the Odon and north of it, with the situation on several occasions becoming extremely confused in the thick hedgerows of the Bocage.
