Bob's Black Bulls 11th Armoured Division.
Operation Cheltenham!
Well all this effort ( plus Pnzer Lear to come) had a purpose, the 1st attempt at Big all Saturday Game, so here is Operation Cheltenham, a mix of Goodwood and a Bridge to far.
A bad miss jump has put elements of the 101st Airborne including Glider Borne 57mm guns , right on top of the main bridge that crosses the La Pugh River at the small town of Cesse Piett. It is now D+10 , and the original company of 101st is down to little more than 1 platoon of effectives and 1 sole 57mm gun after repeated attacks from the Pazer Lear Division. Ammo and rations are running out.
Luckily they are in the avenue of advance on elements of Both 11th and Guards Armoured Divisions who are within a mile of relieving the hard pressed Americans. But battle hardened Elements of the Panzer Lear lie between them and embattled Americans, with Reinforcements expected at any moment
