A Day in the Farm

Coxen's farm, Tunisia, November 25, 1942: Elements of the 1st Battalion,
commanded by Lt. Colonel Waters, were making rapid progress in their drive 
toward Bizerte and Tunis. At 0700 Hours they seized a road junction south 
of Mateur and then pushed east across the Tine River toward the Chouigui 
Pass. Two miles northwest of the Pass contact was made with German Parachute 
Engineers. The Germans fell back to a walled French farm.
