Troops of the 8th Army advancing from
their increased bridgeheads on
the lower Sangro river have broken
into the enemy's main defenses
after 36 hours of very hard
fighting. The bridgehead which
was first established is now
4 miles deep and 12 miles
wide and near the mouth of
the Sangro. There is no news
about the second bridgehead
14 miles inland. Good progress
was made and the enemy
developed his positions in
great depth. Our North West
African Air Force gave powerful
support to our troops
whereas Marauders and
Fortresses bombed rly yards.
BROKEN OFF
TOO RISKY
