TO THE BAG

THE NUMBER OF Italian prisoners taken in the Western Desert has been increased by several thousands; they include two further generals commanding divisions.

Reuter's correspondent in the Western Desert reports that all supplies of food and oil which the Italians accumulated for the in- vasion of Egypt have been captured. They will prove most useful to the advancing Brí- tish forces.

In less than a week the British **** ! forces have chased five 113 jan divisions out of, strongly fortified positions.

people in Newbury asked. "Where's the fire?" But nobody knew.
