Guards War Diary
23 Jan 44 - 1630
There
was heavy shelling of the Company position,
and Capt. Lowry-Corry, Second in Command “2” Company
was wounded. Capt. M.W. Grazebrook took over command. Major P.C. Britten, “1” Company, and one
other officer Lieut. A.J.Savill, had also been wounded.
The
feature on our right, Monte Natale, was due to be attacked and retaken by
another Brigade. Unfortunately, during
the attack, one of the attacking Companies, (this would be a Company from 2
Royal Scots Fusiliers) lost its way and finished up by assaulting the hill
which No. “2” Company was holding.
