Fried Mills of ‘Toronto This front-line account by Ross Munro, Canadian Press War Cor- respondent of the Canadians’ stub- born advance against the Germans in the Agira sector was delayed three days in transit from the front to a. communications point. By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Press War Correspondent WITH THE CANADIANS ON THE AGIRA FRONT IN SICILY, gulyt za-(Delaycdi-tc? Cable)- in hi advance directly eastward lam eunforte to Aglra the Can. a ans gambled heavily by leaving their left flank partially exposed ior several days while the Amerl. 2:115 5mm! around to the north cover them. However the gamble was successful. At Leonforw MaL-Gen. Guy $1- monds. commander of the can“- tan lst Division, carefully sized up all: situation and audaciously sent troops down the Aglra road de- spite the open flank. His plan work- ed "lflllmcenlly and the German attention was so taken up that no counter-attack developed on the flank. As a matter of fact the Canadians have not yet cxporien. ced a counter-attack apart from a couple of inconsequential local ac- tlons. Gen. Slmonds’ tactics throughout the campaign have been to seek out the enemy, bring him to name and 4950705’ him. The Canadians fought and destroyed one group o; Germans around Valguarnera. But here in the battleground before Agira they really did a job. i The exploits of Western Canzldai infantry, Canadian artillery and tanks have won the admiration nt the whore lst Division l Final Phasm In the rural phases of the battle i one group of German troops uns so disorganized by the gunfire and T the machine-gunning of thc in- fantry that they ran screaming down the hillsides with the Cana- ‘ digns 1h hot pursuit with fixccli bngvonets. Telling me this story, an i cf lcer said the Nazis ran so fast the Canadians were only able to nail a few of them. The Canadians are firmly estab- llsned 1X1 the Agira sector and Can- adian artillery ls steadily reducing the German gunfire which has been harassing this area. most of today (Thursday) as the Nazi for- mations cleared out of this sector after suffering heavy losses during the Canadian attack which led to the capture of Aglra. Their guns shelled hard, attempting to cover the withdrawal and prevent the Canadians from gettln up convoys. Counter-battery wor by Canad- ian gunners is putting rm end to this as night falls, although it is difficult work because the retreat- ing Nazlshold a number of high points which make excellent obser- vatlon posts from which to direct gunfire. On the left flank, the Americans are working hand-ln-glove with the Canadians, They are driving along the coast road north of Ni- cosia whlch fell July 28. Prench Morocco troops-Loums of Tunisia fame—-are fighting with the Americans ln this sector and doing excellent work with patrols and infiltration tactics. The American advance helped the Canadians tremendously by covering the Canadian flank after it had been exposed during the advance from Leonforte to Agira. A British formation on the right flank is making a speedy advance. H. Wm The shew of the first mberstor to loco so sttsck on s "U-bost since their R.C.A.F.

In the streets which rise steeply to the ruins of a castle on the crest I heard first-hand stories oi the capture of Aglra in street fighting by a Western Canada regiment, the Princess Pamela's Canadian Light Infantry. The Westerners attacked right up the streets leading to the crest and within a few hours occupied the ruined castle, dominating the whole town. The Canadian task here becomes more difficult as thr- hllls and mountains rear higher in the Etna district. than farther west and south. it is a big Job for the artil- lery to get into position, but once it. does it hammers the enemy po- siiions incessantly. Also this district is not favorable for ranks, There ls little room for them to rlcploy. Iviost actions in which they are engaged are 1'0- stricted to close infantry support. Several times they have proved 1n- valuahle in street fighting, a-ding the infantry to beat up enemy poc kets. _ The Canadians’ experience of the first rain in Sicily was a welcome relief from the searing sun and the road on ivhlch I travelled was covered with dust. In half an hour one gooey mud but it dried quickly.
