1004_01: Relief in Place - PzC 10 Market Garden '44

The Island, October 4th 1944: On the Island, the British 43rd Wessex Division had performed magnificently, but now it had to be pulled out of the line for refit in the XXX Corps' reserve. After their epic battle on Hell's Highway, the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne were expecting to be relieved within 72 hours, as is usual with shock troops. However, it was decided that they would take on the unfamiliar role of static defense until the situation stabilized. There was no other choice but a "relief-in-place", a difficult procedure, especially when under fire. This they achieved, but then the reformed 363rd Volksgrenadier Division attacked the next morning at dawn. Fortunately the 5th DCLI, a squadron of tanks, and a few supporting units of the 43rd Wessex were still in the area.
