4th wilts is on a distinguished road
it seems the guards a/d fought differently than the others did.the armd bde of the div,usually had 3 armd regts,and a motorised inf battn eg.grenadier guards armd,coldstream guards armd and irish guards armd.the motor inf batt was the grenadier guards.the rest of the div would follow giving support.but in m.g both the 2nd armd irish gds and the 3rd irish gds,were up front.was it just because of a narrow front.lee.
