| 24 | It rains during most of the day. Most of the West bank of the river along our front is extensively flooded. Visibility very poor. N.T.R. On other fronts the advances continue. The main obstacles on the 12 Corps and 8 Corps fronts are the weather and the boggy ground. But the MEUSE pocket is nearly cleared up, the only area remaining in enemy hands being West and North-West of VENLO. The French forces, operating under US 7 Army, captured STRASBOURG today and are spreading into the ALSACE Plain. |
