A splendid unit which attracted particular attention at the Point-Brocard region (France) on 28 July 1944. It was attacked by important enemy elements which, hard-pressed by the 3d Armored Division, were endeavoring to break through at any cost. It put up a magnificent resistance and compelled the enemy to break off combat, leaving numerous dead on the field.
