Thanks for the info chaps, I knew it wouldn't be a British unit there.
It seems strange reading about places I normally associate with the Great War, in fact later this month it'll be 90 years ago since my Great-Uncle was there with the Grenadier Guards.
Thanks for locating where the action took place, hopefully someone can identify which US units were involved. 40 tanks seem rather a lot to lose.
"The Great Swan", as the British called it always seemd to be the "fun" part of the campaign, large advances against minimal opposition, liberating French towns and villages.
It must have been quite a shock to meet such a strong defensive line.
