Overview:
"Chesterfield" was the name given to the Operation devised by 1st Canadian Corps to breach their sector of the Hitler Line. The second phase of "Chesterfield" required that Griffin Force establish a bridgehead across the Melfa River. This arduous task was accomplished by the Reconnaissance Troop, headed by Lt. E. J. Perkins. Before the Germans started to counterattack, their toehold across the Melfa was reinforced by 'A' Company of the Westminster Regiment. Early evening heralded the arrival of about fifty grenadiers supported by four panzers. The commander of 'A' Company, Major J. K. Mahony, directed his PIAT crews to engage the armour at long range with high-angle fire. As the Germans advanced they were greeted by the full weight of the company's rifle and MG fire.Attacker: German (90th Panzer Grenadier Division)
Defender: Canadian (A Company, The Westminster Regiment/Recce Troop, 2nd Canadian Armoured Regiment)
