This extract from the above recollections;

"We travelled north towards San Vito and the River Moro, where Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry [P.P.C.L.I.] had just established a small bridgehead across the River Moro, the furthest point north the Eighth Army advance had reached at the time, and were in urgent need of our tank support, as it was clear the Germans would return with their tank support to force the Canadian infantry back, and regain the bridgehead.

It was a very very steep and difficult climb by way of a track up from the small river to the Canadian position. Only 'C' squadron 44th Royal Tank Regiment took part, not all of which managed to "make it" to where the Canadians had established their position in the small village of Rualti."
