PROUD TO BE IN IT
(Ree. 8 a.m.) OTTAWA, July 11. " All Canada will be justifiably proud to know that, units of the Canadian Army form part of the Allied lorces engaged in the attack on Sicily." said the Prime Minister, Mr Mackenzie King. " The Canadian soldiers have gone into battle exceptionally well trained and superbly equipped. They are keen and full of spirit, and ready for offensive warfare." For the first time the Canadians feel that their Army is really in the war, and they are proud of it, says the Ottawa correspondent of the ' New York 'Times.' After three and a-half years of waiting Canada's long-time policy of keeping its Army as one unit for use in a single operation has been changed, so that, while a considerable part is in Sicily, a group has been reserved for other operations. The group in Sicily includes a Canadian Lancaster bombing squadron and a French Canadian Alouctte or Skylark snuarlron.
