A Company of 4th KSLI visited the Regiment and exercises were carried out with the 38 wireless set.
At 1800 the CO briefed all officers for the forthcoming attack on the river ORNE. For the attack we were to be in 8th Corps and reserve Bde, under command 11th Armd Div. The plan was very fluid and was to be supported by Royal Navy shelling, RAF and the RA. The role of the 4th Armd Bde was rear protection, also to clear certain villages should they be by-passed by the forward troops.
The bridges at 971555 and 965555 were the objective of the Bde.
