On the night of 26th/27th July the Germans counter attacked in the Verrieres area, but these were driven off with the help of artillery fire from 3rd and 5th RHA. Eventually, Verrieres and Tilly-la-Campagne were taken at great cost to the Canadians, with 7th Armoured remaining in defensive positions in the area. 5th RTR were with 4th Canadian Brigade at Verrieres, 4th CLY across the Caen-Falaise road, with 1st RTR in reserve and the Queen's Brigade held a triangle at Tilly-la-Campagne, Soliers and Hubert-Folie.
The latter were often attacked by fighter-bombers at night and shelled at all hours of the day, which did cause heavy casualties to 1/5th Queens as they received 1,500 shells each day, in the Beauvoir farm and Ifs area. Location?
