    On the night of 30/31 January 1944, 1st Battalion took part in a Brigade Night attack.
    From The Scots Guards 1919-1955, by David Erskine, page 212:
    Not until the next day, the 31st, was Lieutenant P.G. HENDERSON, the only other officer in the company, picked up; he was seriously wounded. It is not now possible to apportion to the Companies the losses sustained in the night attack and in the subsequent counter-attacks. But on that day, besides the three officers already mentioned, forty-two other ranks were killed, the largest number of Scots Guardsmen to fall on any one day of the war.
