KING AT THE FRONT
ALLIED SHOOTING WATCHED
Rec. 9 a.m. LONDON, July 27. From a direct observation post in front of Arezzo, which was then newly captured, his Majesty on Tuesday watched British artillery shell the little church of Capriano, 3000 yards distant, says the correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain in Italy. The King saw Sherman tanks, with Indian infantry in support, work their way up a hillside to a German strong-post in the basement ox the church. Reuters correspondent in Italy says that the King drove to the observation post past miles of cheering troops and later had a swim and conducted a small investiture.
