During the first three days of July 1944, in the 10th British Corps Sector the enemy continued to retreat on his left flank evacuating Camerine, San Severino, and Nocera Unbria which were promptly occupied.
On the 3rd July the Regiment joined the 4th Indian Division and moved out to meet up with the 10th Indian Brigade and thence on towards Castel Rigone. By mid-July the progress of the Allied Armies in Italy had slowed down as the enemy continued to defend the Ancona–Arezzo-Poggibonsi line with great determination and this eventually fell later that month only after much bitter fighting with the Regiment’s tanks in support of the Indian Infantry.
On those that could be spared found themselves went into Arezzo on the 25th July 1944 to meet a mysterious ”Admiral COLLINGWOOD” who turned out to be none other than His Majesty KING GEORGE V1 and they watched with interest a concentrated shoot fired in support of the hard battling going on at Campriano.
By the 1st August 1944 the Regiment had reached Pomaio and the next day it went on through Arezzo to Tregozzano. On the 3rd ‘A’ Squadron came under fire but avoided any casualties as they moved up to Le Casella.
The last Warwickshire Yeomanry tank action occurred on the 7th August when Lieut OATES Troop went forward in support of infantry and ran out of ammunition. Major Peter SAMUEL managed despite considerable shelling to bring up shells in a jeep, during the replenishment Lieut OATES was slightly wounded by a mortar bomb.
This then was the end of War in Italy for the Regiment, on the 8th August 1944 the 9th Armoured Brigade ceased to exist and the White Horse could look back with a certain of satisfaction on having done its job well.
