Corp John Anderson Moffit |
When they got round the back of the house they saw what they thought was a Tiger tank � it later turned out to be a self-propelling gun on a tank chassis. They retraced their steps and then went over to a haystack in front of the house. There thet were spotted with two Schmeissers opening up on them. They made for the ditch, got into it, and came back to us. A few seconds later, the two owners of the Schmeissers came out of the front door � they had either been in the S P gun or came through the back door of the house or else they had been hiding in the loft � and our Bren gunners opened up on them. Then, by leapfrogging, the main part of the patrol got back, while one Bren gun covered our movements. We pulled out and reported what we had seen.� |

�Our objective was to recce house in which movement had been seen a mile and a half away from our own lines. We got 250 yards from the house and I positioned .. Bren gunners .. the house and got on a ridge where I could watch for enemy movement. Two men crawled up the ditch and when they reached the house, one searched the farm buildings and the other went through the front door. Then they went round the back of the house. One round one side, one round the other. |
