All day long, the "Coldstream Hill" will be under constant German bombing.While the 6th Guards Armoured Independent Brigade and the 15th Scottish Infantry Division defend the hills 309 and 226, the 11th Armoured Division continued its advance and near 1200, the village of St-Martin-des-Besaces was captured. At the same time, the C squadron the 2nd Household Cavalry Regiment accomplished a daring raid, deeply between the border lines of two German army corps, the II Fallschirmjager Korps (west) and the LXXXIV Armee Korps (east). Leading the advance, a troop under command of Lt D. Powle with armored vehicles reached a bridge crossing of the deeply embanked river Souleuvre. The single German sentry is neutralized.
