THE DODECANESE
ALLIED REINFORCEMENTS
Rec. 11 a.m.
LONDON, Sept. 23.
More troops are being sent to the Dodecanese Islands, according to Turkish reports, which say that British warships are moving in and out of the islands and that Allied planes are using the newly-established airfields. The Allies occupy four of the Dodecanese Islands —Castelrosso, Cos, Leros, and Samos.
The British forces by-passed the German-held Rhodes, the -main island in the Dodecanese, to land on Leros, Cos, and Samos. Landings on other islands are expected soon, as a preliminary to a thrust against the Balkans from the south-east.
