Initial Phase of Attack
Successful, British Soy

CAIRO, June [P-British tanks
and infantry attacked Axis posi-
tions west of Knightsbridge Thurs
day night, opening a drive which
was sustained successfully through
out yesterday by armored forces,
British general headquarters an
nounced today.
Knightsbridge, a desert trail
crossing about Is miles southwest of
Tobruk, is roughly 20 miles east of
where British and Axis forces have
been sparring in a seeming pre-
liminary to resumption of the L.
day -old Libyan battle in which NaN
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel is
said to have lost $40 tanks.
The initial phase of the attack
was successful" the war bulletin
said, land fighting by armored
forces followed throughout the day
yesterday.
Our air forces co-operated with
our land forces. Details are not
yet available
Enemy Planes Damaged.
A number of Axis fighters and
bombers were damaged in these
sorties, a later RAF communiQue
said, and the British airmen con-
tinued their attacks on the Martuba
and Derna airdromes while bomb
ing Syracuse in Sicily.
On the northern part of the battle
line, South African troops were said
to have attacked Axis strongpoints
and captured some prisoners. The
southern end, at Bir Hacheim, the
inland anchor of the 50-mile British
line, apparently was quiet.
1t was believed the Axis COM
mander still had an equal number of
tanks fit for action in the fighting
zone, mostly concentrated in the
Devils Cauldron" area east of the
gap which his armored columns cut
through the British minef1elds be-
tween Ain El Gazala and Bir
Hacheim.
