On 8 December 1943, Major General Vokes devised a new plan for taking the Moro River. While the [[48th Highlanders of Canada]] and Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry resumed the assault on San Leonardo from the southwest side of the town, the [[Royal Canadian Regiment]] (RCR) would break out of the bridgehead created by the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, then move southwest towards San Leonardo to link up with the 48th and PPCLI. The operation was scheduled to start on the afternoon of 8 December.<ref name="Bercuson174">Bercuson, p. 174</ref> | On 8 December 1943, Major General Vokes devised a new plan for taking the Moro River.
