Introduction |
---|
On the Allied right flank in front of Abbeville, the 51st Highland Division deployed the 1st Battalion of Lothians & Border Horse along the Somme River. On the high ground next to Mareuil-Caubert village, A Squadron had pressed a broken-down French tank into service as a strongpoint, using its cannon and machine gun. At 0415, violent firing erupted from the right, against Bray village. |
Conclusion |
---|
C Squadron at Bray fought off the German attack with help from A Squadron’s carrier troop. Then it was A Squadron’s turn to come under attack when German infantry made a sudden appearance in their sector. German artillery fire became more accurate as their gunners registered the Lothians’ positions and some outposts were evacuated. A Squadron held its position until noon when the shells for the tank ran out. |
