9th November - The Squadron moved off at 0001 hours from Forlimpopoli. The route was very difficult to follow due to mist, but had been reconnoitred by Capt. Irwin who got the column safely to the airfield. Further reconnaissance had then to be made to contact the two battalions, as visibility was about five yards.
By first light both Major Griffith and Capt. Irwin were linked up with their infantry. Major Griffith's force moved forward with the leading Company of the Black Watch and No.1 Troop was soon up to Route 9 where there was a blow. Meanwhile Capt. Irwin's leading Troop was badly held up trying to follow his battalion. It was soon apparent that the enemy had withdrawn and with good help from the Black Watch Pioneers, Major Griffith was soon in Forli. Capt. Irwin followed Major Griffith in.
At mid-day No.1 Troop had to go to the help of the leading Company of the Black Watch who were held up on the northern outskirts of the town. Lieut. Mahony shot up all the houses indicated, but the Company was unable to get forward. Capt. Irwin's force and the R.W.K. consolidated. Regimental Headquarters moved into Forli.

10th November - 2 Troop, A Squadron, moved up to support the leading Company of the Black Watch at first light. The enemy position was stronger than anticipated. The Commanding Officer and Major Griffith made a plan and, using two Shermans in support, Lieut. Maguire took his Troop in with a fresh Company. The enemy fought very hard and every house had to be cleared. The Troop fired all its own ammunition and the infantry reached their objectives, but the Company Commander was killed and they had about forty casualties, so the position was consolidated and Lieut. Maguire returned at last light. The enemy proved to be a Company of Field Marshal Kesselring's Assault Battalion - picked men. They were all killed except six, who were taken prisoner. For his gallant part in this action Sjt. J. Barbour of A Squadron won the Military Medal. br Meanwhile, on the right, Capt. Irwin had been supporting the West Kents. The Royal Engineers were supposed to put in an Ark over a blow to enable him to get up. It was badly put in and it was not until mid-day that he was able to get up to the leading Company. One tank of C Squadron was "bazooka'd" with two casualties, Cpl. Ingham and Tpr. Yates. The force had to remain for the night with the forward Company. A half-Squadron of the 142nd Regiment R.A.C. was put under command of N.I.H.

11th November - The half-Squadron of 142nd Regiment R.A.C. with the Royal Fusiliers went through Capt. Irwin's force but did not make much progress. The Black Watch consolidated.

12th November - Major Griffith took out his two Troops to support the Black Watch who were trying to push forward to the river Montone. A fresh half-Squadron of the 142nd Regiment R.A.C., with the Royal Fusiliers were on his right. No. 2 Troop got on well and reached their first objective with the leading Company. No. 1 Troop (Serjeant Donaghy) then passed through but had only moved a few hundred yards when the air observation reported three enemy tanks at San Tome. Air and artillery were brought down, but, as usual, every house was held and some very hard fighting ensued. Major Griffith and the Company commander had to make a plan to get every house. The force remained with the infantry for the night. Sjt. Donaghy's tank was blown up on multiple mines in the late afternoon and he was wounded. In spite of this Sjt. Donaghy recovered his tank under heavy fire. For his great work this day Sjt. Donaghy was awarded the Military Medal.

13th November - Another half-Squadron was formed in Forli under Capt. R. H. Bowring, to support the West Kents. The big ditch beyond San Tome was crossed with a fascine and Lieut. J. S. Milne got up to the leading Company and remained there for the night.

14th November - Capt. Bowring remained with the West Kents for a fairly quiet day except for shelling.

15th to 18th November - The Regiment concentrated in Forli.

20th November - Two Troops of C Squadron moved to the area of Filetto to support the 4th-10th Baluch of 10th Indian Infantry Brigade.
