SUCCESSFUL BRITISH PATROLLING GERMAN PRISONERS & VEHICLES CAPTURED. CLASH IN FRONTIER AREA. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.50 a.m.) RUGBY. July 29. A Cairo headquarters communique states: “Owing to unfavourable weather conditions locally, our offensive patrols at Tobruk carried out only limited operations on the night of July 27. No contact was made with the enemy. In the frontier area, as a result of our aggressive activities, enemy counter-patrolling has temporarily increased both in numbers and in the areas covered. In one successful clash yesterday, one of our patrols captured some German prisoners, with two mechanical transport vehicles and two motor-cycles.”
