99 Infantry Battalion (Separate) (USA) suffered heavy strafing and bombing
During the night of the 24th of August, fourteen prisoners were captured. Despite heavy strafing and bombing attacks by enemy fighters and light bombers on the blocks, no casualties were suffered by the Battalion and the men were commended on the increasing efficiency with which they conducted these new assignments. They had now undergone, however slightly, their initial "baptism of fire" and were emerging as seasoned and hardened fighters prepared to meet the vicious infighting yet to come.
