“206” Battery:   Section of 17 pounders from Landing Craft Tanks landed South of river in error.   Landing lights were placed on wrong side of river which resulted in complete disorganisation of landing party.  Lieutenant Allen and Troop Sergeant landed successfully near Monte d’Argento.

Major G. H. Peile Adventures of “392 Battery”, 98th Field Regiment 1945 IWM

The “A” Troop boating part proved something of a flop.   Led by their Troop Commander in his new Sherman they made a dashing assault-landing only to find that the only opposition came from “B” Troop, since their Landing Craft Tank had landed on the south side of the river instead of the north.
