16/6/ 6.= pm. Fred Grisewood
More progress is reported in the drive across the
Cherbourg peninsula but for the rest there is little
change since yesterday although steady progress
continued. All enemy attempts to gain the
initiative have been frustrated. There is slight reaction
in the fighting which is less fierce. East of Caen however
fighting is as heavy as ever. Yesterday our aircraft
continued the attack against E and R. boats
and pens in Boulogne harbour. Nightly attacks
were made on invasion targets, railway yards, fuel
dumps, ammunition dumps etc. 14 planes are
missing and Intruders shot down 4 enemy planes.
