General
Montgomery's
address
to
his
troops
should
prove
an
inspiration
to
all
of
us
for
"Eighth
Army
Day."
He
said:
"On
the
20th
of
March,
in
a
personal
message
before
we
began
the
battle
of
Mareth?
I
told
you
the
8th
Army
would
do
three
things:
"1.
Deal
with
the
enemy
in
the
Mareth
position.
That
was
done
between
the
21st
and
28th
of
March
and
we
took
8,000
prisoners.
"2.
Burst
through
the
Gabes
Gap.
That
was
done
on
the
6th
of
April.
The
enemy
was
so
unwise
as
to
stand
to
fight
us
on
the
Akarit
position.
He
received
S
tremendous
hammering
and
we
took
another
7,000
prisoners.
"3.
Drive
northwards
on
Sfax,
Sousse
and
finally
Tunis.
That
is
now
in
process
of
being
done;
and
if
we
collect
in
prisoners
at
the
present
rate
the
enemy
will
soon
have
no
infantry
left
to
hold
his
positions.
"T
nlsn
tnlrl
vmi
if
p.icli
one
of
us
did
his
duty
and
pulled
his
full
weight
us.
And
nothing
has
stopped
us.
"You
have
given
our
families
at
home
and
in
fact
the
whole
world
good
'news
and
plenty
of
it
every
day.
"I
want
now
to
express
to
you,
my
soldiers,
whatever
mav
be
your
rank
or
employment,
my
grateful
thanks
for
the
way
in
which
you
responded
to
my
calls
and
my
admiration
for
your
wonderful
fighting
qualities.
"I
doubt
if
our
Empire
has
ever
possessed
such
a
magnificent
fighting
machine
as
the
8th
Army;
you
made
its
name
a
household
word
all
over
the
world.
"I
thank
each
one
of
you
for
what
you
have
done.
"I
am
very
proud
of
my
8th
Army:
"On
your
behalf
I
sent
a
message
of
appreciation
to
the
western
desert
air
force.
The
brave
and
brilliant
work
of
the
squadrons
and
the
devotion
to
duty
of
all
pilots
made
our
victories
possible
in
such
a
short
time.
,
,
.
We
are
all
one
entity
the
8th
Army
and
the
Western
Desert
Air
Force
together
constituting
no
magnificent
fighting
machine.
"And
now
let
.us
get
on
with
the
third
task.
"1
ct
us
make
the
enemy
face
up
to
jnd
endure
a
fW.

on
the
beaclies

"The
triumphant
cry
now
is:
Forward
to
Tunis!

the
sea."

In

af-jter
they

Shaffer
perceived
a
movement
which
he
believed
to
be
a
moose.
He
fired
and,
on
proceeding
to
the
point,
found
that
it
was

!
partner
whom
he
had
shot.
He
tried
to
carry
what
he
believed
to
be
the
dead
body
out
but
found
it
too
heavy
so
proceeded
to
get

After

the

the

it

Taking

was
a

Whether

the

said
he

that

In

the

reviewed
Scott's
conduct

attitude

murder
and
emphasized
that

of

"It
was

anger
of

that
caused

murder,"
Mr.

contended.
Chief
