Description: Flames leap from the thatched roof of a farmhouse set on fire during the fighting in Montcharivel, which the 6th Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers eventually captured. In an orchard nearby, several Royal Scots Fusiliers watch a 44th Brigade (?) LAD fitter hammer a pin into one of the track links on a 97th Anti-Tank Regiment (?) M10 "Wolverine". In Montcharivel itself, a Fordson 15cwt truck drives up the rubble-strewn main street past a wrecked 43rd Recce Regiment Humber recce car.
