With the British 1st Army on the Thnisian Front-I am writing these words amid the muck and mire of Tunisia and I can hear the sounds of battle on a range of hills down a valley to the east. But neither I, nor our guns, nor our men, could be here at all were it not for the great work that has been done in the factories of North America. This campaign, more than any other I have seen in this war, depends on motor transport for its success. The enemy knows this. Daily they try to search’ our roads with their ﬁghters, shooting up isolated vehicles as well as convoys. Nothing is too small for their attention. We are living in a world without railroads here, a world of twist- ing mountain roads that rise thousands of feet into the clouds: By day and night—the latter without lights of any kind-the allied forces move forward along these roads in trucks that you supply. Without them we would be im- mobile, still far back, some 500 miles, in the neighborhood of Algiers. As it is, our goals are in sight and from here I can see a bare moun- tain that rises just this side of Tunis.

are rare, and this tribute is not only to those who are responsible for the maintenance of our vehiclee but above ell to those who built the trucks in which we move. Last month, I drove a daily average of well over 100 miles in a Chevrolet. Without it, I would have found it impossible to report the war for something like, two million readen daily.

Veterans of many fronts say they have never seen such weather anywhere. Every ﬁeld ‘and all the side roade, after days and days of rain, are as bad as any Irish bog. A big armoured tank sank to the top of its turret in the muck the other day even after a eolid week of comparatively dry weather. A crust brrne over the ground, but it is thin and deceptive, and heavy vehicles break through. A few hours oi‘ sunshine are followed by walls of rain driven down by galee from the steep mountain sides.
