45th Infantry Division's B Company was deployed to cover the Left Flank of the Valley. The enemy attack came up thru a draw in the woods AFV's in the leed with Infantry in the woods. Thur some SNAFU the commo didnt work so the Mortar Team ,60mm, could not fire and we could not get word to the Heavy MG's to Deploy on the right flank. The I Ties turned our left flank so I deployed the Company Reserve 2 Inf 1/2 squads, 6 men each with M-1's + a Com section ,3 men with carbines, and the light 30 cal MG team. More luck than anything else we held. We lost 30 KIA 13 Wnd + 2 MG 30 cal to Mortar fire. Enemy Sahariana Company " Maletti " 35 KIA 13 wnd, 10 missing + 1 Anti Tank gun, 1 Inf 65mm towed gun, 2 trucks Estimated 30-40 Retreated.
