Ww2 company attack frontage

[Last Hussar]

Hi all. What would be a good attack frontage for a British company in June/July 1944?

Depends on terrain, smaller in close terrain. The space between men is 5-10m so a platoon would cover about 200m in open terrain (assumes 2 up one back) this would give a company frontage of 200 to 5/600m if  1 up or 2 up.
