End of operation

Did the operation come to an end because they were reached by allied forces?--Grahame (talk) 06:59, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No they were relieved by C Squadron 1 SAS, who a few days later were reached by the Allied advance. Unfortunately I could not find a reliable source to put it in.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
