In the cool night the sweating bodies of the Canad- ian gunners. who wear shorts as they ivork. can be seen by the muzzle flashes. Scores of guns are thundering simultaneously tonight, eacll wen- pon belching its rcd ball of flame and tongue of white lignt. There was no sleep for anyone in camp.

During the morning the Nazis lobbed a couple more shells in and around. the town. Wal of the houses had gaping holes, streets were blocked with debris and a church in the centre of the town wss wrecked. Many , decrepit stone and mud homes of mountain peas- ants were smashed. There were pa.- thetic sights as Italian civilians picked their way among the ruins for household goods and valuables. Most of the town was deserted eflept for s few Canadian troops wandering through the streets that rise in etc to s peak on which are the ruins of a Norman-style castle. This front-line town has taken the worst beating of any I have seen on the route of the Canadians’ lab-mile push from their original landing at Pachino Peninsula.
