Communique Number 113
1 August 1944
In the western sector Allied forces which entered GRANVILLE
have now cleared the town. An advance on a broad front towards the
main PERCY-AVRANCHES road, has brought our troops close to VILLEDIEU.
There is heavy fighting near PERCY.
Strong enemy resistance continues northwest of TESSY. We
have made substantial gains in the TORIGNI-ST MARTIN area. Isolated
pockets of resistance throughout the sector are being steadily
eliminated.
Escorted heavy bombers attacked naval vessels at LE HAVRE
and the railway centre [center] of LA ROCHE last night, as our air forces
kept up their pounding of enemy supply and communication.
Medium bombers hit rail bridges crossing the SEINE at MANTES-GASSICOURT and LE MANOIR and over the LOIRE River at NAMTES, TOURS
and LES PONTS DE CE. Fuel dumps in the FORET DE LA GUERCHE and
at TOURS and ammunition stores southeast of CAEN were bombed effectively.
Fighter bombers, on armed reconnaissance, attacked railways,
rolling stock, airfields and motor transport over a wide area.
