141st RAC (The Buffs). Harboured for 2 days with the Westminster Dragoons at BRECY 8778. From there they were sent to join 231 Bde of 50 Div. They supported the Hampshires in clearing a thickly wooded area (7570) down to Main rd 7569. The Inf wanted them to stay in the wood for the night. They objected and were eventually allowed to go back. They reached X rds (772) when they received an urgent order to drop trailers and go to X rds (7669) where the Devons were being attacked by enemy armour. This they did and attacked the village LA BELLE EPINE at 2210 hrs on 11 Jun using 75 mm and BESA on the houses. This was successful and the inf re-entered andtook possession. Action closed at 0030 hrs and crews returned North to refuel. In the middle of refuelling they were recalled to the X rds (7669) owing to the possibility of a dawn attack by enemy armour.
