I put my hands to my ears to see if they were there. We knew what it was immediately, nothing less than a Jerry tank, known to us as an 88. It’s very accurate and a weapon that does not give one much time to duck, He was trying to hit some of our tanks, or even a vehicle in which we were riding. .Soon our own leading tanks got wind of its presence and not long after we saw the 8 8 go up in flames. “It was now 3 a.m., so far so good. We knew we had passed by many Jerry positions and also that they would be looked after by the troops who were to pass through us later on, Tht moon, which was half full, was up by this time, and it sort of put our searchlights to shame. Our tracer guides continued to pass overhead and we wondered how much farther we had to go. At a certain point before our ob­ jective we were to fan out, battalion going Occasionally we stop, because of it was during waiting to move wandered back wondering how would be back again. A fellow cer­ tainly learns to appreciate the finer things of life in times like these. “Two more hours passed, but not without excitement, until finally we began to fan out and we knew then we were nearly there. Our objective was a huge piece of ground with trees and buildings, used by an air­ port to our right. Two companies dismounted and went forward: soon we were all in our allotted positions, and shovels were at work without hesitation. “Our next job would be to stop a counter-attack. Jerry always does try one whenever we stop pushing him back. The morning brought a heavy fog, an ideal morning for a counter-attack. Sure enough, an hour after we got there, word came through to stand by—he didn’t let us down. “Tired and all as we were, with the assistance of tanks and dive bombers, who were now up and at work, we held it off. Like a dog that has been scolded, he put his tail between liis legs and beat it back. “From then until the time when those fresh troops pushed through us, everything went well. The enemy we passed in our rear gave no trouble. They walked into by the dozen. that part of the show is are able to get some rest, are fresh as ever again, the Why Jerry hangs on, I , he will surely crack Dr. H. H.

Everthing was lined up some distance back of the start line. The men from sever­ al infantry battalions were sprawl­ ed out by their vehicles, some' writing letters, some playing cards, and others reading books.

My watch said 11, and I knew those bombers were on time. Before long that rumbling noise went from sky to ground. No less than 1,0'00 1,00'0- pound bombs were being dropped on targets over which we would soon pass. “This was followed by huge flashes to our rear and the glorious tune of artillery guns. Like a sprinkling can they poured shells over the enemy’s position and one Would wonder how anything could ever live through it.
