The British Advance east of Tilly in Normandy, Northern France during the Second World
The British Advance east of Tilly in Normandy, Northern France during the Second World War.
Following a heavy opening barrage on 25th June, British forces broke through the German positions west of Caen main defence point of Rommels armoured forces.
Heavy battles ensued against German armour and in three hours fighting, British infantry had driven forward from one to three miles towards the River Odon.
Picture taken during the early stages of the assault shows: An ammunition lorry was hit by enemy mortar fire but no damage was done by the flying debris to nearby vehicles including Sherman tanks and jeeps.
