		It was this operation to which the Division was now committed with VIII Corps, and the objectives were the capture of Cbeux and St. Mauvieu, the seizing of crossings across the River Odon immediately to the south, and the occupation of the high ground between the rivers Odon and Orne overlooking Caen.
