Left Barclain with platoon of tanks & 1 platoon of G Co at 2130 to aid 36th Armd Inf holding out in that town. No communication with 36th & enemy tanks operating in town which had already knocked out 10 of our light tanks & 6 medium tanks. ON route to Sterpigny leading platoon was pinned down by machine gun from tank and forced to withdraw slightly. Enemy tank was knocked out by fire from our leading tank which was directed by T/Sgt Manning. Because of light caused by burning tank, company was forced to change route & swing to right to gain entrance to town. Route reconoitered by S/Sgt Hower. After Co. was in town & contact was established with friendly forces S/Sgt Anthony returned & guided tanks into position in town. At daylight Co. attacked to clean out town but was unsuccessful because of two enemy tanks, Mark 5's which held successful road blocks on main street. 155 Arty & tank fire knocked out one enemy tank and withdrew. At end of day we held 1/2 of town. During day our tanks knocked out 3 enemy tanks trying to attack from rear and left flank. As of 17 Jan 45 - Remainder of Bn came to town and followed in behind as company again set out to clean out town. Attack progressed well and last enemy tank withdrew. Town cleared at 1330. Attack harrassed by enemy tank fire from woods but mission finally accomplished. Company with E Co. on right started attack for objective which was edge of woods 2000 yards NE of town of Sterpigny. Enemy direct fire weapon stopped company at LD. Because of open ground and absolutely no cover available, company was forced to retire approximately 50 yards leaving several casualties on the field. Some of casualties returned under cover of darkness. As of 18 Jan 45 - Company with platoon of G Company started in attack behind E Co at 0600 for same objective as day before.
