Cairo. Julv 6. AP The British
armv of the Nile retained the in-|
tiative firmly today after, fierce \
Maori troops from New Zealand
had driven the Germans further
back in the El Alamein cauldron
with a terrifying bayonet charge.
The Maoris—descendants of war like
Polynesians from down under
attacked with blood-curdling
screams at the end of a full day of
stiff fighting Sunday in seemingly
impossible weather conditions.
Their steel bayonets flashing in
the moonlight were reported to
have struck terror in the German
and' Italian ranks in wresting
strong point from the enemy.
Their charge came after heavy',artillery
and tank duels in" which
the axis had lost large numbers of
men and 'machines.
