Polish troops deployed tanks toward Ostra as Adriatic shore defense held at Ancona, and German positions around Pisa and along the Arno remained contested. RAF bomber raids struck southern France airfields.

Two Months After Its Fall Cassino Still City of Death
Cassino Italy July 24 Two months after its fall Cassino remains a city of death and destruction. The ruins line the streets as a wall of impeding disaster and the odor of the dead rises at every turn. A single cleared path serves trucks and jeeps while wrecked tanks lie abandoned. Nearby cemeteries mark the costs of the fighting with multiple national graves and a large German burial ground above the plateau. War correspondents recount vivid scenes of ruined landmarks and trapped streets guarding the monastery hill, while residents linger amid the scars of battle.
