MILLION MEN
ASSEMBLED BY ALLIES IN NORTH AFRICA ACCORDING TO BRUSSELS RADIO. AUSTRALIANS REPEL HEAVY COUNTER-ATTACKS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, October 27. The Brussels radio says that the Allies in North Africa have 1,000,000 men, 1000 tanks, and a large number of aircraft. The “Daily Telegraph’s” correspondent with the Eighth Army says Rommel’s most powerful counter-attacks are directed against the Australians, who beat off five distinct blows within a few hours.
London newspapers publish the first radio pictures from the Western Desert. The most dramatic shows soldiers in tin hats and shorts leaping to the attack with fixed bayonets through a maze of enemy shellfire.
