The famous West Country Division captured Mount Picon, the key to Normandy, forced the crossing of the Seine, were the first British troops to fight in Germany, and turned the tide in the Reichswald enabling the Allies to close with the Rhine. As part of Horrocks' 30 Corps, the division also took part in the headlong rush to Nijmegen in Operation GARDEN. Enser, p.77
