In Italy British and American troops
are extending their bridgehead in face
of gradually increasing enemy
resistance. The Germans are fighting
small delaying actions. Our correspondents
reported this morning that our
tanks had crossed the Mussolini
Canal which is 10 miles from the
coast and they are now said to be
well beyond it. The Germans are
rushing in reinforcements which they
do by plane at night dropping their
men by parachutes. South of our
Nettuno bridgehead the French troops
are in a hard struggle for a height NE of
Cassino. These troops are Moroccan
and Algerian troops under French
born officers.
