16th December - the beginning of the end
As stated in the first post the Irish attacked the Tunnel and the Swedish Bn the Katangese stronghold Camp Massart.
Camp Massart was taken by 3rd Swedish Coy (major Ekegren). The entrance was taken by one platoon (1Lt Gullstrand). Two platoons (1Lt Kamstedt and WO1 Johansson respectively) rushed into the camp and mopped it upp taking several prisoners.
