Bob Ross was leading the 4th regiment during the battle, when his division was attacked by British and French troops. Ross was knocked down on the third-line and suffered serious injuries (most likely internal). He was taken sick and taken off duty for several days. Upon his return, he learned about the situation and decided that the French were going to attack his 4th regimental center. His entire division was attacked. The rest of his division was also knocked out by enemy gun fire. Ross took two shots at the French lines, wounding another officer who also sustained a small internal wound, but he was not seriously killed. A few days later, he heard about another major French offensive in Normandy. Ross was on patrol in the region of Brest, when the French attacked at night. He was surprised and hit in the face with cannon fire. He was not wounded. The rest of his division was also hit when French and British shells hit it in the middle of the night. He was knocked down and seriously wounded. The rest of his division received serious losses as well, but none more important
