This attack was the stuff the men had prepared for an intensive com- bined-operzttions training in Bri- tain. Immediately after the exer- cises the convoy carrying assault troops sailed for the Mcditerran eon and they went right to these Sicilian beaches without being at tacked by aircraft.

The entire 2,000-mile trip was

considering that we sailed in day- light right through the Sicilian1 channel and the Malta channel to- 1 wards Pachlno Peninsula with the whole invasion armada concentrated in one gigantic convoy.

Preparations for Attack

The day before the attack we started to head in the general dir- ection of Sicily and everyone was keyed to a high pitch. In the mnrn- . ing the wind started to kick upi wiiitecaps on the Mediterranean which up till then had been as calm as a. millpond.

The wind rose steadily until by afternoon it was of Bale orouort ions. By that time we could see Malta. Our spirits sank for we thought the operation would have io be postponed. Our small boats could not live in that sea. Some of the waves were 13 feet high and a heavy swell was running but ftiere was bright. burning sunshine-and no message came telling us the job

off.

A Colonel told us the attack was to go on. At last we were definitely on our way. There was quite a strong surface swell, though. and it wasn't going to be anv sinecure landing on what everyone knew to be a tough beach with a sandbar stmetdied across the face of it.

During the evening (Friday. July 9) we leamed from the headquart- ers ship that the Paciilno airlields had been plowed up. Some thought perhaps the Italians had got \viiid_ of our attack. But security had‘ been maintained 101) per cent. The attack was definitely a tactical

atic. The Canadians went through the beach delences in a matter of minutes and struck inland, mopp- Ihll up groups of Italians en route. More than 700 prisoners, including l5 officers, have been captured alt ready by the Canadians.

All day columns of Usenet-g poured down from the ront, a MPPY1°°1<1X18 crowd, guarded by one or two soldiers.

Then everyone repealed the bird's, Preyer and chock hands all around. Then the meeting broke up. I went on deck and watched in the moon- light.

There was still no air attack. U_n- balievable! At midnight we sow] great flashes in the distance where; Sicily lay. Our bombers were hitting- their targets. Tracers reached into- the sky. There were some coastal’ marchlights playing over the seal

not last long. and this one didn't. Convoy Arrivel

The high command gambled on the wind falling- dmibtedly it had the weather “taped"—and won. Then the big convoy broke up. ‘Ifhe Americans headed off for the Gela beaches. We sailed right ahead un- der a first-quarter moon that gild- ed the ocean. The sky was clear and crowded with stars. It was a

peacetime cruises.

I could hear our bombers droning over towards Italy. Some flares shot up from the shore. They were unnerving and lingering. I was go- ing in with the naval command in a naval motor launai which was to guide the assault troops to the rLcht beaches.

At l am. we went down the side of our ship in an assault landing craft and hit the swell which lifted PS high in the air. We rocketed about and moved among the ships which now were anchored a num- ber of miles off Pachino Peninsula. Finally we located our motor launch and clambeied aboard. My trmibie was I had my typewriter, water broofcd with aclheisive tape for the plunge from the sandbar to the beach. Slowly the assault landing craft gathered around us for the run in. There were scores of these 40~foot craft bouncing about on the swell. Many of the troops were seasick in them.

Through a megaphone, our com- mander on our little, leaping motor launch told the flotilla: destined for our beach to follow him. and he started off. Other flotilla: sped off noiselesslv for other beaches. Bri- tish commandos were on the Can. edian left flank and another Bri- tish formation on the right.

Pachino Ablaze

Crack units were to land first and destroy a coastal battery. Ahead of us we could see a glare 1h the Sky. The air attack and naval bombardment had set Pach- ino ablaze. Wooden buildings in the town of 15.000 population were burning.

To the left I saw tracer bullets and could fiear th-e bang of mach- ine-guns. Troops were landing. We crept in closer until we could see the low, dark coastline of Sicily in the shadows. It was a thrilling moment but l1 tendency towards seasickness took a lot of the edge off it for many of the men. some red flares shot up. lingered and snuffed out. The enemy was doing some kind of signalling. Tremen- dous explosions bocmed out in the night. I think it must have been

1b0mblng far inland. we could see

gigantic flashes.

On our right there were more flashes. but this time from sca- ward. Warships of the Mediterran- ean fleet were shelling positions on the peninsula. The noise was ear- splittuig. though the ships were miles away. When the flashes oe- curred you could see the gleaming gun barrels lit up even at. that dis- tance. Trc; -rs started to arise-cross our beaches.

Some Royal Canadian Engineers from Nova Scotia and two compen- ies of an Ontario regiment were

, touching down ahead of us. ‘There

were spurts of machine-gun bullets at their boats. Then I heard our, orcn guns. The brens have a G15". tinotive knocking sound like a stick Slflkhlit an oak door.

Canadians were in action.

Dawn was creeping up as ‘f transferred from the motor launch‘ to a landing craft for beaclilng. The typewriter was still tagging 810ml somehow. Just then tank landing craft bringing up the first

wave of an Ontario regiment came.

hit the sandbar and stopped short. We piled over the side and plunged into four feet of water. My type- writer was dunked. 1 suddenly thought oi Dieppe and wondered who would be writing this story for it looked plenty hot here.

But we waded frantically thmugii the breakers and ran onto the beach. Troops swarmed off their craft. and ivent through a tap in the wire defences which had been cut by suppers a few minutes before. Infantrymen were already spreading out in the sand dunes on the other side of the wire.

Not an enemy beach machine- gun was in action right here. More gaps were cut through the vyire which stretched the whole length of the beach which was sandy and 50 yards wide from the sea to the dunes where the wire was locaited.

Canadians were firing to the right and left and an occasional iburst o1 enemy fire was heard from Tseveral hundred yards inland. The Canadians went for them. Beach organization now was being set up with the navy and army personnel working speedily.

' I c esred off down the beach with one thought in mind-digging in for dive-bombing which, on the bus

of a past disagreeable experieme. I thought was certain to comp. I had no spade so I scooped out sand with my hands and my tin cup.

The sun now was up. Infantry- men with fixed bayonet; were prod- ding bushes on the dunes. The first prisoner had been taken-a soldier in a illbox. Apparently his oom- radea ad run for it.

Firing From Farmhouse

Canadians moved up a hill to the right of the beach and occupied it. Others scouted north and west. There was some firing from farm- houses among thie vineyards on gently-rising land. There were stone walls around most of the .fields. It was miserable farm land. Mhough, with many rocks.

rm- half an hour we waited

;tcnsely for enemy planes but they never showed up. The beach was organized now. and special British ',beach groups bad the whole situa- ition in hand. . Canadian infantry were racing up the mad leading to Mancini, a mile and a. half from the beach. Mancini is an old monastery on a hilltop and served as an Italian barracks and ammunition dump. The troops surmised nearly 200 Italian soldiers there and captured the lot of them. Then infantiymen went on to a coastal battery a mile farther north on he same road. This was the one that blasted at us on the way in.

Attacking with grenades. the Canadians stormed the gun posit- ions and knocked the battery out, taking more prisoners. Troops of an Ontario regiment by now were also about three miles inland and pushing ahead at toll Speed. The 12.0.15 Mid British sappers were going through fields with mine, detectors. They located several largel mineficlds and dug up scores of thei latest model German mines. On the‘ right flank a British formation had equal success in landing and taking out beach defences. Thev oc- cupied the tip of the peninsula and then, I believe. captured Pachino town. (The capture of Paciiirio was confirmed Monday, some hours‘ after lvlunro ivrote this dispatch, and was unofficially credited to British and Canadian forces.)
