Introduction

Scenario Fifty
As part of the division-scale assault on the heights, all three battalions of the 26th Infantry Regiment moved out before dawn. The 3rd Battalion would occupy some lower hills between Kef el Goraa and the Sidi Nsir-Matuer road as a blocking force. The regiment's other two battalions would take heights known as Kef el Goraa and, if successful, capture Hill 547 just to the east of it. The 1st Battalion would advance on Kef el Goraa from the west while the 2nd Battalion did so from the southwest.

Conclusion
|
|
The attack began before dawn, and the 1st Battalion occupied a hill a thousand yards west of Kef el Goraa with no trouble. That was the good news, as every-time they attempted to advance from the hill they came under a withering fire which halted all forward progress. The 2nd Battalion hit Kef el Goraa from the southwest and did little better. The Americans halted the assault and brought down long-range artillery fire on the defenders. They would try again the following day, adding the 3rd Battalion, and meet no more success.
