		In January, it was announced that 4 Armoured Brigade would convert to the mechanised role and move to the UK.

		The Germans withdrew behind their minefields after smashing up 1st US Infantry Division and beheading 6th Armoured Division, having overrun its Headquarters and destroying its Engineer Battalion - which would be sorely missed later.
		At the other end of the theatre of operations, the British 1st Army closed up to the Italian Divisions who were lurking behind what appeared to be minefields.
