AXIS FORCES
MENACED IN NORTH AFRICA Deep Inland Penetration by British Patrols ■ BRISK ARTILLERY ACTIVITY AT TOBRUK SOME INEFFECTIVE ENEMY BOMBING LONDON, October 26. British patrols in North Africa are now operating’ 200 miles inland from the coast, making- a dangerous threat further and further into Italian Libya. Their position is like a dagger held at the back of the Axis forces. The Allies now hold all the strongpoints to the south, including the oases on the way to the Sudan, Free French Africa and the heart of the continent. An Army Headquarters communique reports that enemy artillery was more active round Tobruk but it was effectively neutralised by our counter-artillery fire. Bombs dropped on the town and harbour caused no damage or casualties. Once again our patrols met with no interference from the enemy. A number of operations were carried out and some useful information was brought back.
