The above was a generalisation of units in the area - for accuracy, the AT unit involved around the cemetery was the 260th battery, 65 AT Regiment RA. The area of Duisans was held by 2 troops from this and 2 Coys of the 8/DLI. Their opponents were the 7th IR and (some) elements of the SS-Totenkopf who were in the neighbourhood. For armour -the 25th Pz Rgt was also in the vicinity.
