VICTORY IN TUNISIA
HUGE PILE OF BOOTY ENOUGH FOR WHOLE ARMY London, June 28. Salvage officers reveal that the Italian and German armies in North Africa left enough motorised equipment to supply at least the whole First Army, says the Algiers correspondent of the Associated Press. For instance, this army captured more lorries, armoured cars, and staff cars than those with which it started the campaign. Almost a dozen warehouses chock-full of spare parts for vehicles were taken. Axis tanks and similar vehicles occupy a “graveyard” extending over several acres. Those Axis planes which are intact are being dispatched to Britain and America. Allied troops are making use of the captured arms, including 27,000 rifles.
