On Fifth Army Front

Sgt. James c. Thomas, son of Mrs.
Emma Tate Thomas of Ri. 5. Lex
'r'~t0n. is radio operator in the
l05th Anti-aircraft Battalion, whose
flax in the skies over the Mediter-
ranean Theater since the invasion of
North Africa has driven off 1000
German planes, shot down rs, prob
ably an additional 46 and damaged
many others.
Now on the Fifth Army front be-
fore the Pc Valley, the 105th served
in Scotland and England, made am
phibious assault landings in North
ern Algeria, Sicily and Italy and
fought in Tunisia. 1t has well over
700 days in combat to its credit. In
Tunisia, in one week, men of the
l05th shot down IA enemy planes,
possibly got nine others and fought
as infantry against countera1acking
Germans.
The battalion sailed from the Uni
ted States in August, 1912, and en-
tered combat in November of that
year with amphibious forces that
stormed the beaches of Northern
Algeria. There it protected the
beaches at Arzew and port installa-
sions and nearby airfields at Oran.
Two machigun platoons of the
105th were flown to Faid Pass and
to the foremost Allied airfield IL
runisia, while the balance of the
battalion set up in the vicinity of
airports and docks along the coast
to Phillipeville, Northern Algeria.
In January, 1943, when 10 Junk
ers 88s raided the foremost airfield.
before mentioned, the l05th anc
several P-40s brought down all 10
raiders.
Six machinegun crews and other
es with Garand rifles, converted

their gun pits into foxholes an

infantrymen overran their positions
IL kasserine Pass late in February,
1943. Germans again overran the
anti-aircraft positions in March
While seven Mark VI tanks and SO
German light tanks advanced from
only 800 yards away, part Of the
105th stood off counterattackinq
German infantry at range OF 400
yards until the rest of the battalion
could be withdrawn.
Following these final strong Ger
man counters, the battalion advanc-
ed steadily and was in action al
Bizerte, a favorite target OF the
Luftw-ffe whe~ Ground action ceas-
ed in North Africa.
The l05th manned new self-pro-
PEELED anti-aircraft guns aboard tank
lending craft carrying elements Of
the 1st Infantry Division to Gela,
Sicily. They fought off German air
attacks that came almost hourly
throughout D-Day, then moved a.
long in support of artillery for the
rest of the 38-day Sicilian campaign
The battalion again went ashore
with assault forces when Italy was
invaded by the Fifth Army at Paes-
tum, participated in operations te

Affairs Ministries, explained that
the role he emissions for France
