Messina.
They showed the Germans back on
the town of Troina, some 20 miles
west Of Mount Etnas towering
crater, and they closed big gap in
the road to victory with a sturdy
performance.
prime Minister Churchill told
Commons that the Americans
were reported to have entered
Troina yesterday evening)
They did man-sized job. For
the Germans, fighting in a slow
retreat toward Messina, have to be
blasted from their positions with
artillery, machine guns and hand
grenades.
The mission of combat team last
night was to capture a high ridge
overlooking the town of Troina, q
strategic center on the main road to
Randazzo, regarded as one OF the
key points in the conquest of Sicily.
Must Drive Through Bottleneck.
Randazzo sits on the side of
Mount Etna and commands q mar
row bottleneck between the noun
tain and the sea through which the
Americans must drive to reach
Messina.
The thrust toward Troina followed
the fall Saturday of the twin cities
Of Capizzi and Cerami to a small but
powerful drive by the Americans and
Moroccan Goumiers, their fierce al
lies from French North Africa.
The combat team attacked late
yesterday, pushing up the ridge in
the face of heavy artillery, mortar
and small arms fire while the Gou-
miers fought through the hills at
its left flank.
Today the Germans counterat-
tackled from the hills to the north
east. But our troops held fast and
then showed on again.
Road Winds Down Valley.
A miniature battlefield around the
hill spread out before us as I
crouched with several Army officers
under an embankment while Ger
man artillery pounded the road
ahead.
The road wound down a narrow
valley and climbed through a gap to
the north of the hill, which rose
cone-like with sheer sides giving lit
tie protection to the troops fighting
their way up the slopes.
The six-barreled mortar, which
hurls its 2l0-millimeter shells simul-
taneously, was among the German
weapons challenging the advance.

ambulances could remove them to
