Want and Tar Sale Acis, lb week 25c TIfS] Canadians in Sicily Battle; "Terrific," Monty's Tribute The invasion -of Sicily Is of mor than usual importance to Canadian because her tr'eops are in. action of Sicily's battlefields at the side o veterans of the British Eighth Arm and the Tunisia -toughened U.S. fight- ers, They' landed in the early hours of July 10th on the supposedly guarded beaches, Their' part of the 100 -mile front, was Cape Passero, the south- eastern tip. Within a few hours it was in their hands, snatched from dazed and unprepared Italians., Then the push inland began.,, The first two days of the Sicilian battle were amazing for the lack of resistance put up by the defenders, Casualties among the Allied armies were very few. Prisoners were taken with ridiculous 'ease—the first taken by the Canadians surrendered after a kick on the ,pants. These were Ital- ians of the coastal defense command, a collection of ill -trained and poorly armed defeatists, After the Allies had firmly estab- lished themselves on all the beaches and had seized the vital port of Syr- acusee on the east .coast; German troops began to put in an appear- ance. The Americans, on the centre of the south coast, met them first. The surging Nazis carried almost to,• the waterfront in an attempt to seize the main U.S. base, but vigorous and skilful fighting stopped them and `then sent them back, unable to do further battle. Later in the week, the Germans' organized resistance to the British Eighth Army under Gen. Sir Bern- ard Montgomery, under whom the Canadians are fighting. The Italians stated that it was on the east coast that the real struggle would develop, as Montgomery drove west and north to cut off the port of Catania and the Catania plans. In this struggle the Canadians dis- tinguished themselves. First they cleaned up a whole Italian division with its commanding general and his stat£. Then their tanks went into ac- tion against the Germans, Who made a daring thrust toward Augusta, and were thwarted. By the end of the week, the whole Eighth Army, the Canadians well up in front, was driv- ing forward. - General Montgomery himself stat- ed that the Canadians "were terri- fic," Gen. Eisenhower, in command of the whole invasion, tried to visit the Canadians, but they were moving ahead too quickly and he contented himself by sending on to them a mes- sage of praise. It is not only on land that the Can- adians are fighting .in the Mediter- ranean. More than 300 Canadian sailors helped to carry the soldiers to Sicily and set their down an the beaches, Then there were Canadian airmen, some attached to the RAF, some in fighter units that long have been fa- mous for action in Africa and Malta, and a new touch, a Canadian bomber wing. The bombers were specially brought from Britain with their big Wellingtons, in which they often had attacked Germany and northern oc- cupied territory. In'support of the Allied ground troops, the Canadian airmen with their Allied mates swarmed over Sicily, blasting everything that im- peded the advance. Enemy troops, strongpoints, air bases and commun- ication lines were shot up by fighters that kept going night and day. Fighter-bombers and bombers blast- ed the various ports the enemy might use for reinforcements. Messina was the most -mauled of these, and thg. Wellingtons shared in bringing about its practical destruction. Other harbors, such as Catania, were bom- barded from the sea as well by squa- drons of British and U.S. warships. The air attack spread out from Sicily to Italy itself. British-based planes struck at Turin, in the north- ern industrial area, and later around Genoa, Planes from North Africa and from the Middle East hurled hundreds of tons of bombs on Naples, on the big air base of Fog- gia on the east coast opposite Naples and on all major railway centres and ports of the Italian "boot." This terrific attack on. the Italian mainland was more than a means of preventing the Axis sending assia tance to Sicily. The storm of bombs rather suggested an early extension of the invasion to Italy itself. A fur- ther indication of this was a new warning to the Italian people, broad- cast by Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt. In what- am- ounted to an ultimatum; they told the worried subjects of Mussolini that the choice must be between dy- ing "for Mussolini and Hitler -or living for Italy and for civilization." The whole blame was placed on Mussolini for hitching Italy to Hit- ler's doomed star. Italy's sole hope now was stated to be ""honorable capitulation," with the implication that Italy would not suffer greatly at the peace conference' were she to join in turning the Fascist and Nazi [ brigands over to justice, s It is not only in Sicily and in the air over southern and western Eur - 1 f Arm RT1li NEWS ope that the Axis is being' thrashed. Itt Russia the tide has turned once again against Hitler. Twelve clays after the Germans opened their belatedsummeroffen- sive, trying to wipe out the Russian salient reaching west between Belgo r'odand Orel, they had been whipped to a standstill, They had lost many thousand mels, several thousand tanks and hundreds of aircraft. Near Belgorod they had made a slight ad- vance, Between Orel and Kursk they had gained nothing. So it became the turn of the Russians to attack. The Soviet forces hit hard at two points, directly east of Orel, and from the north, west of that vital hinge in the German line, A brief roaring artillery barrage broke a., hole in the Nazi front, through which tanks and men poured. Swiftly the advantage was pressed, village after village was occupied and mile after mile of ground gained. The Germans were in peril of being sur- rounded as they were at Stalingrad.
