 While B Squadron stayed around the village, A and C Squadrons moved further south into a wood called "Delle de la Roque".C Squadron positioned themselves on the east side of the woods and the understrength A Squadron positioned themselves in the southern portion, with '3 Troop' on the western edge of the wood.From this position they overlooked a large open section of ground and were able to watch as German tanks advanced up "Route nationale 158" from the town of Cintheaux.
