Flanking Thrust The allied breakthrough on the southern front was achieved by American and French Infantry units driving westward through the mountains in a powerful flanking thrust that imperilled the entire German line guarding the Via Casilina, inland road to Rome. Smashing through stubborn enemy resistance on the north flank, one American column battled 1U way to within a mile of the enemy citadel, fulcrum of the Gusav saw line. On the invasion front below Rome, American and British forces pressed armored spearheads east and north from their coastal beachhead in a twin thrust appar- ently aimed at splitting the German armies in central Italy! The British wing of Lt Gen. Mark W. Clark's invasion forces was reported fighting in the outskirts of Gampo Leone, 15 air miles from Rome, while the Americans were advancing at the edge of Cisterna, 12 miles to the south, In the face of repeated enemy counterattacks.

They are sons of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Aebischer, well known throughout Cache Valley, and have many relatives and fnends here.

Aebischer was formerly Miss Agnes Nielsen of Millville, and Mr. Aebischers Home was in Logan before the family moved to Nevada.

Carefully, reverently, they clear swav the bodies that ctog their irrigation ditches The Germans used them for trenches. I never have seen more dead. For two days, the fighi'ng raged here as the Germans sought to hold their positions in what was one of Mussolinis farm projects in the reclaimed Pontine marshes. The Germans are gone now, except for their dead. They remain where they fell in field and barnand the machine gun and mortar fire of their retreating comrades left the bodies of cows and pigs and chickens among the yard, soldiers. The German resistance was determined because Cisterna, 25 miles southeast of Rome, was an important communications terminal for them. Cisterna is at the intersection of tha Appian Way and the Naples-Foimi- a railway. I wrote part of this dispatch in a fox hole under fire.
