Twenty - seven were taken prisoner . One company of 90 men was reduced to just four survivors . Background . By September , 1944 , it had become urgent for the Allies to clear both banks of the Scheldt estuary in order to open the port of Antwerp to Allied shipping , thus easing logistical burdens in their supply lines stretching hundreds of miles from Normandy eastward to the Siegfried Line . Since the Allied forces had landed in Normandy , France on D - Day , June 6 , 1944 , the British Second Army had pushed forward into the Low Countries and captured Brussels and Antwerp , the latter with its ports still intact . But the advance halted with the British in possession of Antwerp , while the Germans still controlled the Scheldt Estuary . Nothing was done about the blocked Antwerp ports during September because most of the strained Allied resources were allocated to Operation Market Garden , a bold plan for a single thrust into Germany which began on September 17 . In the meantime , German forces in the Scheldt were able to plan a defense . In early October , after Market Garden had failed with heavy losses , Allies forces led by the First Canadian Army set out to bring the Antwerp ports under control . But the well - established German defenders staged an effective delaying action . Complicated by the waterlogged terrain , the Battle of the Scheldt proved to be an especially gruelling and costly campaign . Historians have largely ignored it until recent years . After five weeks of difficult fighting , the First Canadian Army , bolstered by attached troops from several other countries , was successful in winning the Scheldt after numerous amphibious assault s , crossing of canals , and fighting over open ground . Both land and water were mined , and the Germans defended their retreating line with artillery and snipers . The Allies finally cleared the port areas on November 8 , but at a cost of 12 , 873 Allied casualties ( killed , wounded , or missing ) , half of them Canadians . The battle . An area known as " the Coffin " due to its shape on topographical maps was held by entrenched Germans of Battle Group Chill , holding the mouth of the Beveland isthmus . The Black Watch were tasked with attacking northward and cutting the land links between the mainland and the isthmus . " C " Company , was 30 minutes late at the start of the operation due to small - arms fire delaying their advance , and the supporting artillery attack was therefore ill - timed . Operation Angus continued with a second attack and a third was prepared , to be led by Wasp flame - throwers .

Second Battle of Heglig The Second Battle of Heglig was an armed confrontation of the 2012 South Sudan - Sudan border conflict that broke out on 10 April 2012 . Conflict . After claiming that Sudan had been harassing its forces from the air and the use of artillery , South Sudan ordered its forces to attack the Sudanese army in the Heglig area in retaliation . The Sudan People ' s Liberation Army launched an offensive northwards , claiming they were chasing retreating Sudanese army units that had attacked South Sudanese territory . The forces from Sudan held defensive positions in and around Heglig and clashes ensued when the South Sudanese army reached the area and engaged them . After a day of fierce clashes , Sudan admitted that they had been defeated by the South ' s armed forces despite having put up stiff resistance against " Huge , well equipped forces " from South Sudan . South Sudanese forces began reinforcing their positions in Heglig on 13 April , whilst Sudan continued to mobilise its own forces . According to the South Sudanese government , the frontlines had remained static during the day . Sudanese forces claimed to be advancing on Heglig and that the situation would be dealt with " within hours . " A spokesman of the Sudanese government said that its army was on the outskirts of Heglig , while South Sudan ' s government said that it would defend themselves if attacked . The Sudanese government spokesman also added that South Sudan failed to control " all of South Kordofan state . " Sudanese warplanes bombed Heglig on 15 April , with Southern officials accusing the North of " bombing the central prosessing facility to rubble " . Sudan strongly denied the claims . On 20 April 2012 the Sudanese armed forces entered Heglig and controlled the oil field defeating the southern forces . Southern Sudan president announced a 3 day withdrawal on 20 April however this was most likely fake in order to undermine the defeat of southern forces . This is due to the fact that Sudanese soldiers were already present and controlling the oil field before the announcement was made . The Sudanese army claimed to have killed over 1 , 000 South Sudanese soldiers at Heglig . The death toll however is impossible to verify but an AFP correspondent in Heglig said the putrid bodies of dead South Sudanese lay beneath trees scattered about the area . He said the number of bodies was so large they were " uncountable " . He also said , the corpses bore the South Sudanese flag on their uniforms . Earlier in the occupation one Southern soldier in Bentiu , capital of the South ' s Unity state , said : " There are so many bodies at the front line , so many dead " that it is impossible to bury them or bring them back . South Sudan denied these claims but with no evidence to support their denials .
