TAKEN BY EIGHTH ARMY
Four Hours After Opening Attack COMMANDING HEIGHT CAPTURED HARD FIGHTING IN PROSPECT IN HILL COUNTRY LONDON, August 20. Correspondents, describing the opening stages of the Eighth Army’s attack on the enemy’s Enfidaville defence line, state that the first objective was gained four hours after the attack began. Some units scaled a 1,200 ft. height, which commands a large area of Rommel’s defences. They point out that heavy infantry fighting lies ahead, as the country for ten miles behind the enemy’s line is hilly and is unsuitable for tanks.
