8th Battalion “The Buffs”

Operation Totalize had ground to a halt at a new German defence line, with Quesnay Wood as one of its key bastions. This wood sat astride the RN 158, and was stubbornly defended by elements of the 12th SS, a company of the 102 SS Heavy Panzer Battalion with Tiger tanks, and anti-tank guns. It became a focus of the Regiment’s attention. ................
