Frenchmen are to work on a more

Our Anzio beachhead has been
enlarged in face of strong enemy
resistance and counterattacks
against it and the main 5th Army
fronts have been repulsed.
Heavy fighting takes place on both fronts.
Correspondents report that one
counterattack was beaten off in
the neighbourhood of Littoria and
also that heavy fighting takes place in
outskirts of Cisterna. Now our French
and American troops on the main front
are through the mountains. Cassino is
seriously threatened. American troops
are said to be within 500 yards from Cassino
