While 22 Cdn Armd Regt was undergoing this heavy counter-attack on the morning of 10 Aug, 21 Cdn Armd Regt (G.G.F.G.) dashed forward from Grainville- Langannerie to relieve the pressure on 22 Cdn Armd Regt on Hill 195 (W.D.,
H.Q. 4 Cdn Armd Bde, 10 Aug 44). Once on the objective the tanks quickly coordinated their plans with the infantry, and defensive depth was given by 28 Cdn Armd Regt (B.C.R.) whose sorry total of 12 tanks took up a reserve position in Langannerie. (W.D., 28 Cdn Armd Regt, 10 Aug 44). Lake Sup R.(Mot) remained in reserve though under heavy fire at Point 125. Source: R E P O R T NO. 169 HISTORICAL SECTION CANADIAN MILITARY HEADQUARTERS 5 Nov 48.
