Though it was his units fiist encounter with enemy armoured forces the sergeant stood his ground, firing steadily till he was knocked dazed. _ , , Incensed and refusing to accept defeat, he got up and pursued the aimoured car and repeatedly jabbed his bayonet through the visor. His contempt for the enemy’s mechanised forces, says the report, was shared by his unit, which destroyed every one of the attacking armoured cars, killing, wounding or capturing their crews.
