COMING ASSAULT
ALLIED TROOPS TRAINING IN NORTH AFRICA. UNDER REALISTIC CONDITIONS. (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, January 5. British, American and French troops are training in North Africa for the coming assaults across the Mediterranean, says an American Press Algiers correspondent, quoting an official disclosure. He adds that North Africa is described as one vast training centre for troops destined for future operations. Camps are scattered throughout Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Realistic training in landing operations is being given at Mediterranean and Atlantic coast centres while inland troops arc training in battle conditions in mountains, muddy plains, bogs, swamps and heavy woods. The British and Americans are newly arrived, while the French are those recently rearmed.
