July 1944

Italy

In the US 5th Army's IV Corps area, the 34th Division continues its drive on Leghorn and does make some progress. The 88th Division takes command of the zone previously held by the 1st Armored Division and attacks with the 350th Infantry on the left and the 349th on the right. Bypassing Volterra, the division gains the heights north and east of the town. The 350th presses toward Laiatico, a commanding strongpoint, while the 349th captures Roncalla.

In the FEC area, the 4th Group of Tabors attacks toward San Gimignano, west of Poggibonsi, and takes Hill 380, 2 miles north of Highway 68.

In the British 8th Army area, the XIII Corps undergoes further enemy counterattacks. In the X Corps area, the Indian 4th Division takes command of the sector west of the Tiber.
