Cheeta crew go into captivity

Commander: Squadron Sergeant Major G.M. Menzies
Driver: Trooper N.A. McArthur
Co-Driver: Trooper T.A. Dunsmore
Gunner: Trooper W.G. Stewart
Loader/Raidio Operator: Trooper F.H. Noel.
Bert was the second tank of TLC-6 and soon stopped.  Trooper Stewart realized the turret was not working correctly and had difficulty in getting it to traverse because of the waterproofing.  Trooper Dunsmore, went outside and cut the waterproofing away from the turret.  Bert made its way up towards the area east of the cassino later in the morning and had its left track blown off by enemy fire.  Possibly from the 37mm gun mentioned in an earlier post.  Now disabled Bert was still in a position to give support and covering fire to around 20 men from the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry from Hamilton, Ontario.  These men had crossed from the cassino and moved into the town.  Three of the crew were later rescued by Corporal Heck's tank "Bill" and the other two were picked up by Lieutenant Dunlap's tank "Bob"
