Overview:
The end of July was a dismal time for the Eighth Army as Montgomery’s strategy became unglued. As the Germans delayed the British at the Catania plain, they were able to establish their defenses along the Etna Line. Montgomery devised the notion of throwing a left hook around the Germans. At the time the 50th Division held the Primosole Bridgehead but had not been able to expand from it. The 5th Division was tasked with penetrating the Simento River north of the bridgehead. The 13th Brigade was ordered to establish a bridgehead north of an unnamed bridge some 6 miles west of Primosole. Dubbed Lemon Bridge by the British, this became the site of a series of fierce battles between the British and Group Schmalz.Attacker: British (2nd Inniskillings Regt, 13th Brigade, 5th Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Hermann Goering Division)
