ENEMY LAND MINES
CLEVER USE BY AXIS FORCES Rec. 1.30. RUGBY, May 6. The enemy's lavish use of land mines in Tunisia to delay, as far as possible, the Allied advance while he organises defence positions m the rear, is described by a radio commentator in Tunisia. The French have encountered thick minefields in the neighbourhood of Pont du Fahs and mines in hill positions have impeded attacks on Jebel Zaghouan, 12 miles to the east. Further east, on the coastal sector, where the Eighth Army is battling its way through hills, there are many cunningly placed mines to contend with. None the less, Eighth Army patrols have been ame to penetrate deeply into the enemy's positions.
