The commanding officer issued some notes on operations in severe cold. These show the very great care and foresight with which this problem was handled. Every man was able to enjoy two hours in a company rest area daily. Here were constant hot water, dry socks and hot food. Special white helmet covers were improvised. The result of this care was that no soldiers were evacuated because of bad feet and morale was very high. The German case was reversed and many miserable prisoners passed through the Regiment's hands.

On the 7th the Regiment took part in a further attack designed to cover the right flank of the Americans driving southwards on the east bank of the River Ourthe (3986).
C Company, with two platoons from D Company, the carrier platoon, a pioneer section, three Weasels  and a Wasp flame-throwing carrier, were to carry out the attack aimed down the south edge of the two woods already captured. Crest-clearance problems made close support by the gunners impossible, but the 3-inch mortar platoon put down a thousand bombs in thirty minutes.
Within an hour the objective was taken. The D Company platoon had a fierce but short fight and one platoon from C Com­pany met sixty Germans who had been pinned in by the mortar bombardment. They fought hard for a few minutes, but then surrendered.
Altogether eighty-three prisoners were taken and between thirty and forty dead counted—all from the 116th Panzer Division.
Captain G. R. Seers, who had come up to visit his two platoons, was hit by an isolated concentration of mortar fire and died a few minutes later.
