Description
On 4th August, 8th Hussars relieved 5th RTR, but progress was still slow, due to the minefields protected by anti-tank guns, but 11th Hussars finally met up with 69th Brigade of 50th Division south of Villers-Bocage. The main armoured thrust was then redirected to La Poste, a few miles west of Villers-Bocage.
