The Scauri Peninsula and Tremensuoli.

 2 Scots Guards War Diary 

21 Jan 44 – 0800 

Owing to the slow progress of the last few days and the stiff resistance which had been encountered, the plan for the attack by 201 Guards Brigade had been considerably  modified. 6 Grenadier Guards were still to go for part of the Scauri Peninsula; 2 Scots Guards was to capture Scauri village, and 3 Coldstream Guards were to remain in reserve at Tremensuoli. In accordance with this plan all arrangements and reconnaissance of the area were carried out. The Battalion was sent for to move up to the start line when the whole attack was postponed till first light the following morning. The reason given for this was the discovery of a counterattack forming up in Scauri.
