The Allies suffered heavy losses with men and tanks strewn over the beach along with landing craft . The operation painted a grim picture for any future Allied incursion . A German major observed , ' I have not witnessed images more terrible . In one landing craft the entire crew of about forty men had been wiped out by a direct hit . On the water we could see bits of wreaks , ships in ruins , corpses floating and soldiers wrestling with death . In Paris there was jubilation .

It is particularly proud of its part in the action at Qineiquina * on the Egyptian / Libyan frontier on 25 November 1941 . During the engagement the Battery helped defend the positions of 7th Indian Brigade , fighting in the open against no less than 28 tanks of the 21st Panzer Division ' s 5th Panzer Regiment . Despite the daunting onslaught , the gunners held their fire until the Panzers were within 500 metres , returning fire over open sights . After an intense duel lasting 45 minutes , the Germans withdrew having lost seven tanks and sustaining damage to a further four ( by the evening of the 25th , 5th Panzer Regiment had only two operational tanks ) . The Battery suffered more than fifty casualties and five of its 25 pdrs were knocked out , but it had helped defeat Rommel ' s planned encirclement of the British forces East of the Solloum front . The battery also served throughout the Italian campaign and fought at Cassino . [ At Cassino , a notable incident took place . One of the Rocket Troop ' s 25 pounders suffered a ' premature ' ( a detonation within the gun barrel ) . The explosion blew open the end of the gun , ensuring that it could no longer fire . Bdr . L . O . Harris proceeded to cut off the shattered end of his 25 pounder ' s gun barrel with a hack - saw . The task took considerable time and effort , but upon completion , the gun was raised upon ammunition cases and successfully brought back into action . The unusual sound made by the modified 25 pounder ' s , shortened barrel and higher trajectory of the shell , reportedly lead the German defenders to presume that they were being engaged by a new British weapon . ]

Jean - Vincent d ' Abbadie de Saint - Castin Jean - Vincent d ' Abbadie de Saint - Castin ( 1652 – 1707 ) was a French military officer serving in Acadia and an Abenaki chief . He is the father of two prominent sons who were also military leaders in Acadia , Bernard - Anselme and Joseph . He is the namesake of the former capital of Acadia , Castine , Maine . He was immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ( 1807 – 1882 ) who wrote " The Baron of St . Castine " . Biography . Jean - Vincent was born at Escout , Béarn , France , the youngest of three sons in this noble family . Little is known of his early years other than he lost his mother in infancy and his father before his teens . He left for Canada at the age of thirteen as an ensign in the army , a suitable pursuit for the younger son of a noble . He was likely part of Alexandre de Prouville ' s brutal campaign against the Iroqois in 1666 although his name does not appear in surviving records until 1670 when he was part of the repossession of Acadia by the French . It was in the Penobscot River area that he gained his knowledge of the Penobscot and was eventually adopted into a local tribe . In 1674 he made his way to New France after a harrowing experience there with Dutch led by Jurriaen Aernoutsz conquered the capital of Acadia and renamed the colony New Holland . Governor Frontenac gave Saint - Castin the task of allying the Abenaki with the French and recaptured the capital of Acadia the following year ( 1675 ) . He took this role seriously and , while he became the third Baron de Saint - Castin on the death of his elder brother that year , he appears to have devoted his time to becoming an Abenaki . During King William ' s War , after Benjamin Church successfully defended a group of English settlers at Falmouth , Maine in the fall of 1689 , Castin returned to the village in May 1690 with over 400 soldiers and destroyed the village . He took an Indian wife , the daughter of the Penobscot chief , Madokawando . He died at Pau , France , in 1707 . References . Endnotes Texts
