past three years, these lads have been

boredom of waiting, waiting, and the
natural longing to be with their loved
ones once again, these men have steel-
ed themselves for what is to come and
are prepared to meet the enemy on any
ground.

value, but under a sullen overcast sky
with a gale. blowing, your, correspon-

bullets, shells, mortar bombs and
smoke bombs, witnessed a great dem-
onstration of a Canadian Infantry Bri-
gade, with supporting arms, going into
the attack to clear- a passage for the
remainder of the Division to go
through.
The infantry regiments of this Bri-
gade are three well known to resi-
dents of Ontario. This was the

there at that time, were ordered to.

moot, and in theory, squadron of the

Three strongly held positions of
groat tactical value gave the enemy
the advantage in this magnificent
show of endurance and skill by the
Canadian Troops. Despite very heavy
going, 4ue to the recent rains and the
condition of the ground, and the fact
that several large hills had to -be sur-
mounted, the infantry (the P.13.1. 'as
they -.were called in the last war) suc-
cessfully gained their objectives and'
moved forward at the appointed. times,
One has to take a small part (even
as a spectator moving over the
ground) in these manoeuvres, to appre-
ciate just what amount of stamina and
:spirit is required to overcome natural
and man-made hazards. .
Co"Ordinated Effort
The efficiency and co-ordination of
all arms was remarkably good. Inter-
communication with the various units
was of a high calibre, Companies of
the Infantry being in constant com-
munication with their battalion head-,
quarters and the battalion head-
quarters in turn being in communica-
tion with the Brigade Headquarters
who controlled the whole effort, From
brigade headquarters via various
means, the supporting arms were dir-
ected by the Brigadier.
Directly on the stroke of the zero
hour, the Artillery opened up a terrine
barrage on the initial objective, to
allow a troop of tanks to shepherd the
mine clearance party of Engineers, in
two sections of carriers to carry out
their task of clearing the mine fields
for the follow;up of tanks and infantry.
Churchills In Action
It was a grand sight to witness
from our vantage point. The huge
rumbling. iCharchills sprayed every-
thing in front of them to give cover
to the engineer party. The job com-
pleted, the engineers placed tapes to
make. a safety lane for the following
tanks and infantry, Then they return-
ed to a rear position under the pro-
tective care of the tanks, By now the
next wave of tanks (which in the dis-
tance looked like ants crawling about)
were proceeding at tank speed on to
their objectives, to clear out machine
gun nests and any infantry obstacles
that might be in the way. They man-
oeuvred about, racing thither and yon,
until they reached the crest of the
first objective. Right on their heels
were. the first wave of infantry, with
bayonets fixed, running towards the
enemy and taking cover as the neces-
sity arose, then rising and advancing
several hundred more yards. '
Infantry Plays Its Part •

the mortars came into play, setting
down the smoke screens to give the
infantry a'nd tanks protective cover
from the left flank and to the front,
while the R.C.A.F, were doing like-
wise 'on the right flank.. While the
forward battalion of infantt:y were
consolidating their first objective, the
two battalions following through
pivoted right and left to reach their
respective objectives and so widen the
gap created by the forward unit.
During this time, the various arms .of
the infantry were brought into use,
13ren carriers and mortar platoons do-
ing a very effective job with the odd
pill-box or machine gun nest that had
been overlooked by the tanks, the
mortars effectively using H. E. and
smoke and the carriers doing a nice
job of work with their bren guns.
The entire co-ordination was. par-
ticularly good, but the enthusiasm and
knowledge. of their task, shown by the
infantry, was a revelation to this
writer, and fo all those privileged to
witness this attack of Canada's senior
Infantry Brigade.
