I think that this was arguably the most effective attack of the war. I spoke to a Para who was pinned down on the slope of Darwin Hill by the 35mm and he said that it was impossible to move and there were bits of arms and legs flying through the air by the time XFJ and the team arrived. The CBUs effectively covered the whole peninsula that the gun was on and the 3” rockets finally obliterated it. The entire area was out of bounds for decades because of bomblet UXBs and when I returned in 2019, I found CBU carcasses on both the north and south shoreline - so well and truly wellied!
Apparently as the GR3s departed you could hear the sound of cheering from the Paras over the noise of the battle. BZ 1(F)!
