Late War News 8TH ARMY GAIN IN MOUNTAINS
Germans’ Lateral Road Cut HARD FIGHTING LONDON, October 11. An Allied communique reports the capture of the town of Ponte Dandolfo, 12 miles along the road to Vinchiatura, which is well north of the Galore River. A correspondent says it is a hard, slogging battle all along the line, and our troops are making slow but steady progress. Algiers radio says the Eighth Army has wrested from the Germans the control of IS miles of the trans-Appenine road from Ternioli to the Volturno. The Germans by permitting the Allies to cross this lateral road have lost a mountain line which constituted their defence line protecting Rome. For the sixth night in succession bombers of General Eisenhower’s airforces bare attacked airfields in Greece and Crete.
