Default Re: Cambrai 1944

This is all I can find in my books.

"It [2nd Armored] reached Le Neubourg 23 Aug 44 and resumed the advance 30 Aug 44, reaching positions northwest of Cambrai by 1 Sep 44. CCA crossed the Albert Canal on 13 Sep 44 and the Maas the next day."

Order of Battle US Army World War II, Shelby Stanton

I remember Mr Samford (from my church) saying that they (the 30th ID) were paired with the 2nd AD frequently in the drive across France.
