Description
On the 14th of June, a new division attack order was issued. The objective: St Lo. This plan hinged on the 30th Division coming on line for a coordinated attack with the 1st battalion leading, 3rd battalion and 2nd battalion to its rear, echeloned to the right to protect the right of the division. The attack started on schedule. By 1118, the 3rd battalion had captured its objective, in the vicinity of Amy, despite determined opposition. The 1st battalion also encountered stiff opposition being hindered by apparent mine fields, which proved on coordination to be dummy mines. By 1305, it had cut the road East of La Meauffe.
