Allied Landing at Bardia Reported by Rome
LONDON, April 21. A British landing at Bardia, easternmost port of Libya, is reported by today’s Italian war communique, which states: “The enemy’s attempt to land at Bardia was beaten oil. Those troops who succeeded in landing were captured.” Bardia, which is roughly halfway between Tobruk and Solium, was evacuated by the British garrison about a fortnight ago in the face of strong enemy pressure. “There is nothing to report in the Tobruk sector,” says to-day’b communique from British General Headquarters at Cairo. 11 Patrols have again been active at Solium.”
