INFANTRY ATTACK
The climax OF the day came
with the afternoon demonstra lion
of an infantry battalion in attack,
supported by artillery and a bat
talon of medium tanks. Churchill
and his party were driven miles
through the sandhill countryside
to an isolated artillery range
stretching over thousands OF acres
dotted with scrub pine and oak
trees.
Seated In the protection OF a
dugout atop a small hill, the prime
minister watched the realistic bat
tie unfold.
A scout force slithered through
the underbrush near the dugout to
begin the advance of enemy po-
Sitions a mile or two away. The
troops amazed Churchill by their
ability to remain almost invisible.
Artillery, mortars and machine
gun crews, excellently hidden in
the woods about the dugout, moved
into action to support the advance.
