Overview:
The day brought hard fighting to all three of Brigadier Hoffmeister's battalions, but gains were small. Pre-dawn patrols discovered the enemy digging in along the length of the Gully and his armour patrolling the lateral road beyond. All attempts by the Loyal Edmonton Regiment to advance failed in the face of heavy machine-gun and mortar fire. In the afternoon the PPCLI, with a squadron of tanks of the 14th Armoured Regiment (The Calgary Regiment) in support, struck out towards the coast road. By nightfall they had battled through a tangle of olive groves and vineyards (infested with anti-tank mines and booby-traps) to reach the edge of the Gully. After successfully beating off a counterattack by some 40 Grenadiers, they settled down on the right of the Edmontons to a busy night; for "Vino Ridge" - as the position became familiarly known as within easy grenade throwing distance of the German slit-trenches in the Gully. On the left flank one company of the Seaforth battered its way through the mud of deeply ploughed olive groves in an attempt to secure the ridge on the near side of the Gully, half a mile south of where the road crossed. The boggy ground, saturated by the previous night's heavy rain, hampered the movement of supporting tanks of the 11th Armoured Regiment (The Ontario Regiment). About 45 infantrymen struggled up the muddy slopes to the objective, but the threat of a counterattack forced them to withdraw to their starting point.Attacker: Canadian (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry with Seaforth Highlanders of Canada and 11th Armoured Regiment (The Ontario Regiment))
Defender: German (Panzergrenadierregiment 361, 90. Panzergrenadierdivision)
