"...Oh yes we're going to get some help from a squadron of the 1st Hussars tank regiment. They're going to land before us and take out the pillboxes and machinegun nests ... it didn't happen.The 45 boats start in at about 1500 yards we can see the wall in back of the beach. It looks to be maybe 8 feet high. We are told to stand up..." Jim Wilkins, B Company, The Queen's Own Rifles
