Their rockets can hardly be heard above the explosions of the heavy shells. The forward observer is standing unaffected at his scissor telescope requesting a barrage. The Canadian 8th Brigade, reinforced by the Winnipeg Rifles and supported by the Fort Gary Horse Tank Regiment, throws itself at the remnants of Krause's battalion. The artillery fire moves on. Pale faces gaze at me.
Nobody says a word.
We can only hear the gunners' voices. Enemy tanks are rolling forward out of Marcelet. The smoke of battle is very thick. Our artillery shells land between the advancing tanks but they scarcely allow the explosions to disturb them. They roll slowly towards us.
