(i) |
Maximum support of the attack in street fighting was shown to be
very difficult because of the closeness of our own troops. The defensive
artillery fire of the enemy in
Cassino was more effective.
|
(ii) |
The identification of targets was facilitated by the issue to Forward
Observation Officers of marked photographs, showing numbered buildings
and groups of houses.
|
(iii) |
Our artillery would have been well advised to make a more
systematic effort to close Route 6 on the enemy side of
Cassino by harassing
fire. (General Senger's comment.)
|
(iv) |
The use of air OPs in counter-battery work was an outstanding
success.
|
(v) |
For the use of artillery in producing smoke see below,
Section (
f).
