Summary: Additional coverage of Sergeant Parkinson's material showing 30th Corps and 12th Corps units moving up to the front in the Odon valley.
Description: Long lines of infantrymen belonging to the 1/6th Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment and detachments from their carrier platoon make their way in the dust and heat past two thoroughly destroyed and 2nd Northamptonshire Yeomanry Cromwell tanks. A jeep towing a trailer is driven past a Loyd carrier lying derelict in the foreground. Churchill tanks belonging to the 7th Royal Tank Regiment, one of three armoured regiments within the 31st Tank Brigade, pound the dust as they move up past Le Haut du Bosq (?) to join 43rd Division units assembling for a renewed assault on Maltot and Hill 112.
