    I am in interested in the this famous action for the 8th Royal Scots. There are many mentions of this battle on the forum, however I am seeking the level of detail likely to found in a War Diary.

    Has anyone got a copy or transcript from the War Diary for the 16th July 1944?

    Many thanks.

    Battle for Gavrus and Bougy was very well handled by 153 RAC & 8 Royal Scots, not least with heavy counter-attacks launched by 9 SS-Panzer.

    Features heavily during the Operation Greenline part in Jocks, Dragons and Sospans.
