They include a 150mm howitzer with its barrel split and some 220mm mortars, along with many trench mortars.The tank climbs a steep bank, rotates its turret, reverses into the woods and descends a steep bank, all successfully.The general pins the Croix de Guerre to the standards of 6th Dragoons and 23rd Dragoons.
