You did well yesterday! Today the advance continues - strike west from La Pirrine and St Jean
and take the high ground near Le Dezert and the area around Mesnil-Vineron. We have little
intelligence regarding the opposition, and because of this damn rain there will be no air
support available. Nevertheless, 'We keep the faith', right!**
