MADE BY ALLIED FORCES IN SICILY
On East and North Coasts SEA AND AIR BOMBARDMENT OF RETREATING ENEMY FORCES ANOTHER HEAVY NIGHT BOMBING ATTACK ON MILAN LONDON, August 15. The enemy is speeding up his withdrawal from Sicily. Reuter’s correspondent states that Italians have been left to cover the German withdrawal. Before getting away the Germans made road blocks and laid minefields, but these are the only factors hampering the Allied advance. The British Eighth Army, pushing up along the east coast road yesterday, made a further advance and on the north coast the Americans advanced 14 miles in 24 hours. The enemy is constantly under fire from sea and air forces. Malta-based Mosquitoes are taking part in attacks on the enemy. Fires started by aircraft could be seen 30 miles away. Home-based aircraft bombed Milan again last night. One force concentrated on targets in the centre of the city and another oij an armaments works on the outskirts. The bomb load was dropped in 22 minutes.
