British Regain Contested Ground
(Rec. 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 2. A British United Press correspondent with the advanced armoured forces says two tank battles were raging in Libya early today. German units were attacking the New Zealanders slightly north-west of Sidi Rezegh, and the German 21st division was attacking north-east of Sidi Rezegh which the enemy had occupied on Sunday after a big tank and infantry attack, reports the correspondent. The British charged just before dawn after an all-night tank battle and regained all the contested ground.
