IN EAST AFRICA
GENERAL GAZZERA’S SURRENDER TASK OF IMPERIAL FORCES CONCLUDED. SAVE FOR UNIMPORTANT REMNANTS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) RUGBY, July 4. It is officially stated in Nairobi that General Gazzera, supreme commander of the remaining Italian forces in Abyssinia, is sending envoys to arrange for the surrender of all the Italian forces operating in the Provinces of Gallo and Sidamo. In the area for which the East African force is responsible, there now remain in the field only about 600 Italian from Assab, so that, with General Gazzera’s surrender, it can be said that the campaign undertaken by the East African force has concluded. A special Middle East communique confirms General Gazzera’s surrender, and adds that except for the Italian garrison of Gondar, which is now hemmed in, and a small column dispersed into the wild country south-west of Assab, Italian resistance in Eritrea, Abyssinia and Italian Somaliland has now been brought to a successful close.
