| Just checked 78th Div History.
17/11/42 General Anderson ordered the Div to advance on Tunis as soon as it completed forward concentration along the arrow-head of roads Tabarka--Souk-el-Arba--Ghardimaou.
36 Bde on left along northern road and 11 Bde on left, (5 Northants in 11 Bde) on road from Beja that runs through Medjez-el-Bab, Tebourba and Djedeida to Tunis.
A small column known as HARTFORCE recruited from 11 Bde Group under Major V Hart of Northamptons was operating on the north road.
Not alot of help but some background info. |
