Historical Background:
The city of Ezraa was reconquered on the 15th of June by units of Major Simon during the French Vichy main counterattack. After the failure to recapture Cheik Meskine, Major Simon advanced to Soueida, leaving Ezraa with only one infantry battalion for the defense. On the Free French side, Lieutenant-colonel Génin had to recapture Ezraa with one battalion too. The Free French attack began in the night 16th to 17th June. Ltc Génin was one of the first killed in action of this battle . The Free French troops succeeded to recapture the city in the morning of the 17th thanks to the reinforcement of some British troops in this fierce battle between French troops.
