1st (City of London) Battalion, London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers)

2174:(Operation Olive). The offensive opened on 25 August 1944, and once the leading divisions had broken into the German positions, 56th (L) Division was used to widen the breach on 1 September. 169 Brigade captured Mondarno, then 167 Bde, with 8th Royal Fusiliers and 7th OBLI leading, attacked on 4 September. W and X Companies advanced at 03.00 to the River Ventena, crossed over, and reached their objectives. Y company was to pass through and capture Faggeto, but at daybreak W Company came under heavy machine gun fire from a German outpost in San Felice. Under covering fire from W Company, Y Company cleared this hamlet (the two sides were too close together to call down artillery support) and then went on to take Faggeto as well. However, commanders believed that a breakthrough had been achieved, and 167 Bde was ordered to press straight on to capture Croce. 9th Royal Fusiliers ran into trouble on 5 September and 8th Royal Fusiliers' advance had to be stopped and the battalion remained under shellfire before supporting the 9th. By morning on 6 September the enemy had recaptured all of Croce, and 8th Royal Fusiliers was withdrawn so that the artillery could bombard the town. A fighting patrol reported the town now clear, but when X and Y Companies entered they found themselves in a fight with German armour and suffered heavy casualties before British tanks and other units arrived to complete the capture. Y and Z Companies had to be temporarily combined, with a fighting strength of 23 men. In all the battalion had lost about 193 men. 927:. 1/3rd Londons progressed well and reached their objective (the Blue Line) by 10.00; 1/8th Middlesex were more held up and did not reach the Blue Line until 16.00. However the delay did not affect 1/1st Londons, who passed through 1/3rd and bypassed this opposition. 1/1st Londons then advanced at 12.40 in two waves, the first intending to capture the front Hindenburg trench, the second to take the next two trenches (Neuville-Vitasse and Cojeul Switch respectively) and the sunken road between them. However, the battalion suffered heavy casualties including their CO Lt-Col Smith mortally wounded (Capt Eiloart took temporary command), and got held up in the Neuville-Vitasse trench and sunken road. 1/7th Middlesex, the reserve battalion, came up to help 1/1st Londons forward, but the troops were now badly bunched up and although together they took the first line of the Cojeul switch (Telegraph Hill Trench) it took until the end of the day to gain the final objective (Ibex Trench). Fighting in the Hindenburg Line with bomb and bayonet went on through the night, so 56th (1st L) Division's morning follow-up attack towards the final objective (the Brown Line) could not be delivered until 12.10. 1/1st Londons advanced in support. However, all it achieved was the clearance of more of the Hindenburg position and rounding up of prisoners. On 11 April, with the aid of four tanks, 167th Bde carried out a bombing operation down the Hindenburg Line into the 2100:

just over an hour. It then passed through a minefield and dealt with enemy outposts before reaching the start line for its attack just after midnight. X and Y Companies then attacked the Damiano feature with heavy artillery support, Z Company passing through to complete the first objective. It was in mopping up enemy posts on the hillside that the battalion suffered its heaviest casualties, the companies dwindling to 30–40 effectives. By 09.10 on 18 January Z Company had cleared the enemy from Point 275 and sent a patrol to Point 441 that was driven back by its own artillery fire. However, there had been less success elsewhere and the battalion stopped to consolidate its gains. It gained a little more ground on 19 January, but it had to beat off heavy counter-attacks next day before it was relieved and moved to Lorenzo. However, part of that village was still in enemy hands and the depleted battalion (Y and Z Companies had been temporarily combined) had to clear it by street fighting. The battalion had lost 144 casualties in the operation, and badly needed the few reinforcements who arrived on 26 January. Further low-level operations in the Lorenzo district served for the battle-initiation of the reinforcements. Major Cleghorn left the battalion to take command of 9th Royal Fusiliers.

2330:). Captain J. Bune and selected NCOs with men drawn from the anti-aircraft platoon of HQ Company manned the guns on the boats used to extract the paratroops after the raid on a German radar station on the French coast. The extraction was carefully rehearsed on a piece of coastline that resembled Bruneval and the men learned how to saturate their target with automatic fire at 500 yards (460 m). As the boats approached the French coast in moonlight on the night of the raid (27/28 February 1942) the men could hear the paratroops in action ashore. The firing died down and the boats received the signal from the shore. As the first wave touched down to pick up the paratroops with their prisoners and casualties, firing started up from the clifftop, to which the fusiliers replied with automatic fire, completely silencing the enemy before the last boats turned for home. The returning flotilla avoided German surface ships, and at daylight they were given a fighter escort back to England. 951:, 167th Bde 'never had a chance'. 1/1st Londons and 1/17th Middlesex led off towards 'Tool Trench'. As soon as they started the German defensive barrage came down on them. Tool Trench lay behind a crest and had hardly been touched by the British bombardment; contrary to usual practice the German defenders stood shoulder to shoulder in the trench and their burst of rifle fire completely smashed the attack. The small British parties who penetrated through the trench to 'Lanyard Lane' were rounded up and captured. Both battalions fell back: they would have had few survivors if the attack had been made in daylight. Many men remained in shellholes in No man's land sheltering from the repeated German barrages until the following night. The brigade was withdrawn on 5 May. It later returned to the line and there was much small-scale fighting until the division was relieved on 20 May. 1492:. The second phase of the attack, against a section of the Hindenburg Support line, followed at 03.10 the next day, with three companies of 2/1st Londons in the first wave followed by a 'mopping up' wave. Preparations for this attack were hampered by a series of German counter-attacks during the night, and although the attackers followed the creeping barrage onto the objectives, they were unable to recognise their positions in the shell-damaged line and got too far forward. There was a gap between the two wings that was still occupied by the enemy, who proceeded to 'bomb' their way back up the trenches, capturing many of the attackers. Artillery support could not be arranged, and by the end of the day no gains had been made and casualties were heavy. 800:

the battalion exhausted. 167th Brigade held the line in late June while the rest of the division practised the assault they were to make on Z Day (which was delayed by weather to 1 July). The preliminary bombardment began on U Day (24 June), and from 25 June the units holding the line were subject to German counter-preparation shellfire. They were also standing knee-deep in flooded trenches and 'trench foot' was common. On 29 June a patrol of 1/1st Londons reported that the Germans had erected additional wire in front of their positions. Early on the morning of 1 July half of 167th Bde including 1/1st Londons withdrew while the assaulting brigades took up their positions in the new jumping-off trench. 56th (1st L ) Division's

Y Company of 8th Bn, which arrived at 05.30, tasked with taking Point 819 itself. The company carried this out by a converging attack by the two leading platoons. However, 169 Bde's attack on Monte Camino monastery had failed, and 8th Royal Fusiliers was subjected to heavy fire as it consolidated on the objective. The medical officer was among those killed, and it took seven hours to evacuate each wounded man down the mule track. Holding the position in the rain and cold, the battalion began to suffer cases of trench foot. 201 Guards Bde passed through the position the following night to capture the monastery but the battalion was not finally relieved until 6 December, by which time it had suffered 135 casualties.

night. Y Company also had only one officer and 10 men left fighting. Fighting continued on 17 February before the enemy withdrew, leaving Z Company still holding the position. The Germans resumed the attack on 18 February, when 8th Royal Fusiliers had a fourth company, made up from 67 newly arrived reinforcements. This scratch company held its ground, but Z Company was surrounded and eventually overrun, the survivors being taken prisoner. Lieutenant-Col Oliver-Bellasis formed another scratch company out of the remains of Y Company and HQ personnel (clerks, orderlies, cooks and drivers) and held the ground until 09.00 on 19 February, when a company of the

The attack was launched with heavy artillery support on the evening of 2 December, 8th Royal Fusiliers crossing its start line at 18.15. Each man was heavily laden with winter clothing, ammunition and equipment and 48-hour rations. They followed lines of 1501: 823: 1127:, with 167th Bde passing through the other two to clear the ground as far as the Aunelle river. On 3 November patrols reported that the enemy had retired, so the advance was carried out without opposition and 167th was not needed. The cavalry found the river strongly held, but next day the division crossed the river against half-hearted opposition. However the river Grand Honnelle beyond was in a deep, wooded ravine, and 168th Bde was repulsed on 5 November. 167th Brigade was to take over on the night of 6/7 November, but 168th Bde found that the enemy had had retired and 1525: 2013:, Z Company captured the gun positions with the bayonet. W and X Companies continued inland, but their supporting tanks became bogged down and they were attacked by five German tanks, at least one of which mounted a flamethrower that caused horrific casualties amongst one platoon. Three of the battalion's own anti-tank guns were knocked out and Lt-Col Oliver-Bellasis was wounded. Major Cleghorn took over command as soon as he landed, and brought Y and Z companies into action on the flank of the Germans, the flamethrowing tank being disposed of by a 990:

of 29/30 November 167th Bde was relieved from the front line and went into reserve behind the other two brigades of 56th (1st L) Division. The German counter-offensive began the following morning, but was successfully held by the division, during which 1/8th Middlesex was heavily engaged while the rest of 167th Bde moved up from reserve and helped to dig defences. The battered division was relieved and sent to a quieter sector on 3 December; having been only lightly engaged in the battle, the 1/1st Londons still had 783 all ranks at its end.

864: 2029:'s supposedly quieter sector, where it was counter-attacked while taking over. 8th Royal Fusiliers spent the next two weeks round the village of Piegollellel, where Lt-Col Oliver-Bellasis rejoined and some reinforcements arrived. The advancing Eighth Army was now approaching and the Salerno beachhead was no longer isolated: the Germans withdrew abruptly. The battalion's last heavy casualties at Salerno came on 22 September when a patrol was ambushed. In all the battalion suffered 206 casualties in the beachhead. 1977: 303: 860:

but the wood was strongly held and they were almost wiped out. The other two companies reinforced 1/1st Londons in the captured trench, Brigade HQ sent up 1/8th Middlesex to renew the attack, but neighbouring troops had not taken the flanking strongpoint known as 'the Quadrilateral' and the attack was another failure. The division's attacks were called off in the afternoon as the fighting settled into a series of 'bombing' attacks by both sides, 1/1st Londons and 1/7th Middlesex taking 'Middle Copse'.

796:, clogged communication trenches, and active German patrols, and the marking was not completed by daybreak. The bulk of the work was to be carried out in one night, 26/27 May, by the infantry working parties and carrying parties. This time 1/1st Londons were able to finish before dawn, leaving small parties to hold the shallow new trench. The work was deepened and finished off with support lines and communication trenches the following night, but 1/1st Londons suffered around 34 casualties. 1923:. W Company of 8th Royal Fusiliers on the right would capture Ateya at the north edge of the ridge while X Company on the left would capture Tebega further south, the highest point. Y Company was to follow W and carry on to capture El Matouch; Z would be in reserve behind X. The battalion moved off over the Djebel es Sourrah feature at 17.35 and advanced across the open valley of Wadi Rheribi covered by a smokescreen fired by the divisional artillery, which also put down concentrations of 1634: 1602:. In August, all the men of the Provisional Battalion were returned to their units except those who had not volunteered for overseas service. These men continued in home defence until 1916, when the Military Service Act swept away the Home/Overseas service distinction and the provisional battalions took on the dual role of home defence and physical conditioning to render men fit for drafting overseas. On 1 January 1917 the 100th Provisional Battalion absorbed the 2702: 1451: 62: 79: 2710: 2383: 637:. On 22 December 1/1st London Bde received a warning order to prepare to leave the island. In January 1915 the brigade was relieved by the 2/1st London Bde (leaving behind its obsolete rifles and equipment for the newcomers) and the 1/2nd, 1/3rd and 1/4th Londons left for France. However, 1/1st Londons was retained on the island to 'stiffen' the raw new battalions. It was not until 11 February that the 1/1st sailed, bound for 1541:

knees in mud. Exhausted, with hardly a rifle able to fire because of the mud, they got no closer than 250 yards (230 m) from their objective at 'Spider Crossroads' before being pushed back to their start line by a counter-attack at 07.20. In the following days 2/1st Londons loaned a large party to 58th Divisional Field Ambulance as stretcher-bearers, to help evacuate the suffering wounded from across the battlefield,

2150:. Lieutenant-Col Oliver-Bellasis relinquished command of 8th Royal Fusiliers on the grounds of length of service overseas and Lt-Col J. Sperling took over. The brigade moved to a hutted camp at Beni Yousef, where the Fusilier battalions were reinforced by a draft of gunners from disbanded anti-aircraft regiments from the Canal Zone, who had been retrained as infantrymen. They were integrated over the next four months. 2139:

and equipment. R Company, enlarged to 150 men in five platoons but still taking casualties from mortar fire, maintained its position until being partially relieved on 1/2 March (the battalion loaned four platoons to 9th Royal Fusiliers) and finally re-assembled in the B Echelon area on 7 March. In all, the unit had suffered 443 casualties. It was evacuated from the beachhead on 9 March and sailed back to Naples.

876:), it followed a creeping barrage and Bouleaux Wood had been given special attention by the artillery. 1/1st Londons was holding the line from Leuze Wood and Middle Copse, and when German resistance began to crumble it was able to push patrols forwards. By midnight 167th Bde was in the lower part of Bouleaux Wood and beyond the derelict tank from the 15 September fighting. Next morning 1/1st Londons pushed in to 1703: 887:), 1/1st London and 1/7th Middlesex leading again towards 'Spectrum Trench' about 400 yards (370 m) ahead of the outpost line. 1/1st London had no success except on the left where some of the bombers pushed on with 1/7th Middlesex into the trench. The brigade failed to make any appreciable advance against machine gun fire in the follow-up attack next day. The division was relieved the following night. 971:). The offensive was already bogged down in mud, and preparations were hindered by a German attack on 167th Bde's position two days before the battle. Attacking at 04.45 on 16 August, with 1/1st Londons and 1/8th Middlesex in front, 167th Bde soon found a marsh blocking its advance, which had to be avoided by 1/18th Middlesex edging to the left, pushing 1/1st Londons further left and opening a gap to 2375: 1961:, first 'dryshod', then with waterproofed vehicles and landing craft. Here Lt-Col Poulton was hospitalised and had to relinquish command of 8th Royal Fusiliers (he later became a staff colonel at GHQ Middle East Forces). Major J.R. Cleghorn assumed temporary command until Lt-Col J. Oliver-Bellasis arrived to take over. While the Sicilian campaign continued, planning began for Operations 2183:

fusiliers tried to get one of the captured tanks working, but although they managed to drive it to block the road, they could not work the main gun. However, its machine guns proved useful when, having been pinned down all day, the battalion advanced the following night to clear the Mulazzo ridge. Enemy shelling died away on 17 September, and the battalion was relieved on 21 September.

compliment to the 8th Bn, the 9th Royal Fusiliers redesignated its A, B C and D Companies as W, X, Y and Z. 8th Royal Fusiliers was reduced to a cadre of six officers and 60 other ranks commanded by Maj E.C. Elstone, later by Maj G.M. Williams, and was attached to 168 Bde, now a holding formation (apart from a period back with 167 Bde from 24 October until 27 November).

short, but the battalion was late starting and was not hit. The leading companies met little opposition, but Battalion Tactical HQ ran into a pocket of the enemy and had to be extricated by Battalion Main HQ, who took a number of prisoners. The second phase attack, with tank support, was almost unopposed, thanks to the success of the neighbouring 46th Division.

2215: 1030:. 167th Brigade was in divisional reserve, with two companies of 1st Londons positioned behind 169th Bde. British fire took a heavy toll of the massed attackers as they went through Gavrelle, but they pushed up a shallow valley between 56th (1st L) Division and its neighbour on the right, forcing 169th Bde's flank back to its 'Battle Zone' (the 1513:

Prevented from making progress, the brigade withdrew to a more favourable position in the afternoon, having gained just 400 yards (370 m). 1/7th Middlesex relieved the other three battalions of the brigade that night, but its CO having been wounded it came under 1/1st Londons.

However, a high proportion of the conscripts posted to the battalion later were physically or mentally unfit to be infantrymen and the battalion was considered non-operational, although it took part in two exercises with 140 Bde on the 1076:

village, with six tanks but little artillery support. The village was found to be strongly held, Croisilles Trench halfway to the objective proved to be only half-dug and useless as a reorganising point, so the attack was called off and Summit Trench became the line of resistance.

Poulton then launched Z Company in a silent night attack to capture Point 162 'if humanly possible', but the company was recalled on orders from Brigade HQ, followed by orders for both battalions to return to their starting positions. 8th Royal Fusiliers' withdrawal was covered by Z Company and the

This process had been carefully planned, and was completed on 3 August, so that before war was declared on 4 August the battalions of the 1st London Brigade were already at their war stations, guarding the vital 689:. The offensive was broken off that night. The Kensingtons had suffered such severe casualties that they were withdrawn from the front line to line of communication duties, with 1/1st Londons effectively replacing them as the TF extra battalion in 25th Bde.
