Bad weather made air activity nil but the barrage was fired from 0730 – 0900 and included over 600 guns.
Early in the day the Bde Commander Brigadier JC Currie DSO MC, was killed by shell fire and the Commanding Officer, Lt Col AA Cameron DSO MC, commanded the Bde, this meant that the 2i/c, Major AW Grant MC, assumed command of the Regiment.
The Regiment did not move until 1515, C Sqn leading, followed by RHQ, B & A Sqns. The tracks were very congested and the weather was bad, which made movement very slow. The enemy was not encountered all day and the Regiment harboured near NORREY EN BESSIN, 9270, being shelled most of the evening and night.
