Barney Rossi of Brooklyn came
out of the desert today after a
battle in which American ar

"If we'd had our newest tanks,
we'd have moidered dem buns
Rossi and his comrades, still wear
ing their dusty, battle torn clothes,
told of their victorious encounters
in the past few days.

The first German attack against
the Americans came just before sun
down, said Sergt. Alfred Broer of
Randolph, Neb.

not a one OF our men was killed and
very few were injured.
After a short time during which

In the second battle, which started
more or less by surprise at O'Clock
in the morning, 1t. Allen Anderson
of Phoenix, Ariz., and his boys were

number of German vehicles.
Shooting Point Blank.
Sergt. Clyde Goodnight of Hous-
ton, Tex, was in one tank crew
credited with definitely knocking
out three German tanks in the first
battle and one in the second.
1--WE can't say for sure exactly
how many each of our tanks got,
but we sure gave them plenty of
trouble" said Corpl. Harry I. Wal
ters of Butler, Pa.
"At daylight after the first battle
know that I saw a number of
wrecked German and Italian tanks
directly in front of us. Most were
German. We held our fire SO long
that at times we were shooting at
almost point-blank range"
Almost all of the Americans had
their own individual impressions of
the fighting, but all were agreed on
general points. Toughest of all, they
said, was the waiting period while
they had to hold their fire as the
enemy tanks approached.
Believe me, I sweat my head off
during that period, but once the
shooting started everything was
great because we were all too busy
to think about anything except
shooting those Jerrys up said one
tank-riding doughboy.
All were high in their praise of
| British tank crews working along
side them.
