Their first real battle came when they moved up the coast to the French seaport of Cherbourg. This was a vital port for the Allies, for the troops advancing across Normandy and into Germany needed supplies. After the rugged battle, the Germans surrendered the port on June 27. They had destroyed all the docks and unloading equipment before giving up, however. Their next major battle was at St. La where the tanks fought across the Normandy countryside, hampered by the "hedge-grow- s" which were long mounds of earth held together with thick, gnarled roots. It was here, and later at Metz, that they incurred the higiest casualties Mr. Williams remembered.
