Were 7th Armoured Div expecting to be cut Off when they advanced on Villers Bocade. I have not seen any reports of this but my Father was sure of this according to his journal. Fathers note on pre attack briefing. “You will advance and take Tilly Bocage; you will be cut off, but not to worry air supplies are assured on your left the 50 Div.Tyne and Tees (T and T,s) will take Tilly, and your right will be protected by the American Heavy Artillery" So said our C0. Col Hoare. Also “The right of the line is our pride of the line” RHA motto.
