Call On Italian Front
{special from Bryson City Times)
With the Fifth Army, Italy. ?
A small force of German infan
trymen recently filtered behind the
left flank defenses of the Allied
Fifth Army's 3rd Division in the
Cisterna sector in an effort to
soften up resistance and pave the
way for a major frontal assault.
The operation failed, but the fight
ing, which was among the bitter
est to take place on this beachhead,
asted over 12 hours.
A member of the company who,
together with his buddies shared
the brunt of the flank attack and
Anally turned it into a costly set
sack for the enemy, was Pvt. F.
McFalls, son of Mrs. D. M. Wat
son of Whittier, who had been
.vith the division through the in
vasions of North Africa, Sicily,
Salerno and finally with the third
division regiment that spearhead
id the landings on this beachhead.
The German infiltrations, which
constituted a striking force of
iome 50 men, were spotted by ar
:illery observers further in the
'ear. They immediately notified
ind alerted the company, Most of
;he front line riflemen fell back to
rope with a sudden threat to the
stability of their position, but the
ilement of coordination was not
acking in the German strategy.
\t that moment Tiger tanks came
?oaring down the road just left
>f the company's flank, firing into
mall barricaded farm houses
ilong their lines, which were used
is combination artillery Ops and
ileeping quarters for some of the
nen of the various platoons.
,The tanks, which had clear coast
ng and firing for the first 15
rrmutgg, suddenly caught a blast
n barrair* of heavy Artillery, to
gether with mortars and 75s, and
his drove them back, one tank
atching fire and stalling about
'0 yards up the macadam road.
"We had three machine guns
ak:ng that road and they blasted
very Kraut that climbed out of the
ank," the infantrymen said.
What's more, that tank was a
?odsend. It blocked the road, and
he other tanks wouldn't bear into
he field because they knew that
7c had it mined/'
Meantime, the German company
n the rear was virtually encircled
and had taken refuge in an irri
gation ditch. Every time they at
tempted to fight their way out thej
were driven back by withering
automatic rifle fire and finally de
termined to establish a temporary
defense in the ditch and hold i1
until their infantry units broke
through and rescued them.
About 11:30, after the enem}
tanks had succeeded in leveling
every one of the company farm
houses and killing some of the mer
who were in them, German artil
lery threw smoke shells all alon$
the Fifth's Army company's for
ward line while half tracks camt
down the ruaTt^ carrying cargoe::
of troops, unloading them 20(
yards in front of our own defenses
Many of them stepped on minej
and perished instantly in the ex
plosions that followed, while mor
tars and artillery continued to fire
into their ranks, inflicting manj
casualties and successfully break
ing the back of the assault.
"Five Krauts got into a drav
just in front of one of our machin<
guns," the hard hitting infantry
men said, "and the gunner had t<
drive them out with hand grenade*
before he was able to use th<
machine gun on them. He goi
every one of them at a poinl
blank range of 25 feet."
At 3:30 in the afternoon rifle
men got up within grenade throw
ing distance of the entrapped Gor
men and tossed two grenades intc
the ditch before they surrendered
Ten were dead, and the others were
injured and fiercely beaten.
By sundown under an intensified
hammering from mortars and
artillery and searing machine gun
fire, the^ German armored vehicles
-and?r cmainin^. infantrymeir re
treated into their own second line?
of defense. The attack was over
Strewn over the battlefield were
numerous charred and riddled
bodies and scattered limbs. The
road was hazed over with cooks
from a smoldering tank and two
half-tracks.
' "They told us we killed and
wounded over 50 per cent of their
entire attacking force," the infan
tryman declared, "and we captur
ed many of them. The next day we
watched the Kraut litter bearers
spend all morning picking up the
dead."

C. of C. Building
To Be Beautified
The directors of the Jack
son County Chamber of Com
merce met Tuesday evening,
May nineth at eight o'clock.
Plans were discussed and made
to beautify the Chamber of
Commerce building.
"The Chamber of Commerce
should be the center of our
civic pride, and as such we
should make it as attractive
and clean as possible,'' it was
pointed out. In this time of
war when there is such a
shortage of doctors we should
emphasize cleanliness and san
itation.
A post war committee was
appointed for planning de
velopments for our county and
town after the war.
Tire Records
Necessary For
Extra Gasoline
The rationing board pointed out
yesterday that numerous applica
tions for gasoline were being re
ceived without the tire inspection
record accompanying the applica
tion. No gasoline can be issued
without the tire inspection record,
it wan ? pointed out. Failure to
have tire record delays issuance of
gasoline to justified patrons, it was
further explained.
Periodic tire, inspection has
been discontinued, but it is vitally
important that the records be kept,
as gasoline cannot be issued with
out the record, and the record is
also essential in the event of a
tire purchase, where the official
serial number must be recorded.
