The 8th Army is on the move again
and has crossed the Sangro river.
The bridgehead our troops have
is miles from the Adriatic
inland and 1 1/2 miles to the north
of the river. The attack started early
on Saturday morning and
much opposition was encountered.
It is learned from Algiers that some
of our units waded over and through
the river. Yesterday was a big day
for our N.W. African Air Force which
raided Toulon and Sofia whereas our
Wellingtons bombed Turin. The viaduct
at Cannes was also bombed. 5 planes
were destroyed and we miss 4
machines.
Our Mosquitoes were over Berlin for
the third night running. One of them
is missing. Although the Germans claim
more successes south of Kiev the
Russians deny some and say
the Germans gained no more
ground since last night.
