Overview:

As the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry battled for the Goch-Kalkar road, they were worried about their right flank, with good reason. Elements of the Essex Scottish Regiment were hanging on their by the skin of their teeth. Although they had successfully taken their initial objectives on D-Day, they had been isolated since then, continuously surrounded by the Germans, and had not been heard from HQ for almost two days. Finally, in the early morning hours of 21 February, despite not having any orders to do so, Major McIntyre of “A” Company decided to withdraw. As they started to pull back, the Germans launched an attack.
