Plaque Of Christlooks
Down on Blood and
Ruins al ApriIia
BY DANIEL DE LUCE,
Associated Press War Correspondent

APRILIA, Italy, May % DelayeO
The red stone Christ looks down
from Aprilia's ruined church tonight
on fresh blood spilled at this ghastly
milestone on the Allied road tc
Rome.
The dust and stencil of cordite are
drifting away after a crashing Ger
man bombardment, and Corpl. Will
liam Sweeney of Liverpool, England
who fought at Ell Alamein in North
Africa, has just carried wounded
Tommy out of the rubble.
Aprilia was in German hands last
night. It was no mans land this
morning. At 3 pm. it fell to the
British when Maj. Henry w. King
OF Burton-on- Trent, Derbyshire
sent his rif1emen from the Robin
Hood country into its mutilated
streets.
Ironically. this model village OF
Fascism, which has changed hands
five times since the Anzio beach
head was established and has cost
the lives of thousands of Allied and
German soldiers, was occupied with
out hand-to-hand struggle.
Is Miles From Rome.
Eighteen miles away lies Rome
and our offensive is rolling onward
I reached Aprilia across 2 miles

poppies and ripening grain, by hug

where crude wooden crosses bore
American, British and German
names. Shells gave little sighs
passing overhead and mortar ex-
plosions grunted in the distance.
An American tank, its gun point
ed mutely at the sunset sky and
the crash helmets of It's long dead
crew stamped fiat in the cratered
road, marked the approach to
Aprilia. Four others were rustine
further on.
To the British-American troops

ary and lost 1t the last time on
February 5, 1t always was known as
"the factory" Clustered in an area
Of one American city block, with

Battered by hundreds of American
heavy bombers and shelled daily
for more than four months, Aprilia
no longer has a tower or root
to any of its buildings. Every wall
is shell-torn. Each street is pitted
with craters.
The big red brick church is COM
pletely gutted and the rubble is
4 feet deep inside. But on one
wall plaque of Christ on Calvary
somehow remained untouched.
In the corner sandwich shop where
Mussolini is reported to have eaten
a snack after reaping wheat from
the land he had given his Fascist
devotees, a percolator and an ice
cream machine lie half buried under
broken bricks.
Aprilia was dedicated to Fascism
less than a decade ago. Now the
town at last is dead. s-S.-
