Maoris of the New Zealand Division with the Eighth Army met German grenadiers in a bayonet clash in moonlight, says a British United Press correspondent. The Maoris had been ordered to take an important village north of the Moro River. Supported by tanks, they scaled slopes and entered the village streets, where they met German infantry, also advancing with fixed bayonets. A fierce fight followed, and the Maoris took a number of prisoners, including men of the 90th Panzer Grena’diers.
