99 Infantry Battalion (Separate) (USA) prevent patrols from infiltrating into Thieux.

Elements of the 99th once more attacked in the same sector, Chevefosse, which, according to the prisoners, was strongly outposted and fortified to prevent patrols from infiltrating across the bridge into Thieux. Once again, through a hail of mortar and artillery fire, the Americans attacked and finally knocked out the enemy command post. Again the Germans resisted fanatically from the comparative security of their well dug-in positions but to no avail - with grenades and rifle fire they were driven from their holes to be killed or taken prisoner.
