Fifteen Italian officers and more than 200 men were taken prisoner. This is regarded as the Greeks’ greatest success since the capture of Koritza. In the coastal sector the Greek advance continues, and an Athens message says that further good news can be expected soon. An Athens spokesman said that Pogradec was taken after a stiff battle.
