PRICE 3D.     DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1943

CAPTURED: BIG Gmissing

Germans Bombard

Messina Area

The end of the campaign in Sicily---

thirty-eight days after the Allied

landings--- was marked by the following

special communiqué issued from Allied

H.Q. last night :---

 

     "American troops have captured

     Messina. Some artillery fire

     is being directed from Sicily on to

     the Italian mainland."

 

Messina was heavily shelled before

the Americans entered the city. They

were closely followed by the British,

and, with contact achieved between the

Seventh and Eighth Armies, all Axis

resistance was at an end.

 

     Large numbers of prisoners and

materials are reported to have been

captured. The Axis claim to have

removed all their heavy equipment.

 

     The Germans are shelling Messina

from the mainland. The Americans

rushed up their heaviest guns to reply to

the pounding.

 

     A Rome Radio report picked up

last night said that a large Allied invasion

fleet has been sighted off Catania.

Invasion barges were laden with troops

and tanks.

 

 A second newspaper clipping is below the first, only a small torn portion is visible 


 Glued towards the bottom is a newspaper headline: 

THE GREAT SOLDIER'S TRIBUTE TO FRENCH'S ARMY.
