Overview:
The men of the armored platoons of the 4th and 7th Armoured Brigades of the 7th Armoured Division were anxious to contribute to the harassing of the Italians. With the help of the artillery of the 7th Support Group, the raiding forces attempted to tackle a more challenging and—at least on paper—a more formidable position than had been struck in June. Using sunrise and some blowing dust as cover, the British raiding party concentrated on a small point in the defensive perimeter. The rolling artillery barrage that opened the battle created even more dust, which hindered the Italian gunners' ability to hit (or even see) their prospective targets and consequently their ability to support the defending infantry and armor.Attacker: British (A Co., 1st King's Royal Rifle Corps & 4th Armoured Brigade)
