The movement from the beachto the pass below MT. di CHIUNZA was without incident, and by 0900 hours thebattalion was disposed with one company south of the pass, three companies onthe i*dge north of the pass and two compan'ies in reserve. At 1000 hours, thereserve companies were dispatched to cover a wide draw giving access to ourposition from the NAPLES PLAIN, and to recconnoitre routes to PAGAN andNOCERE INFERIORE. At 1700 hours, companie A and B, lst Ranger Battalion,joined to provide a reserve, and thp companies engaged in reeconraissancewere recalled, having destroyed a three man patrol and reported the movementof another.

10 SEPT - At about 1300 hours on 10 September, an enemy patrol of approximatelythirty men was intercepted on TAT. di CHIUNZA and driven off after a brief skir-mish, in which we lost one man killed, and the enemy three. A detachment oftwelve men under the direction of an officer was sent from the reserve companyto provide security for an artillery OP which had been established on the for-ward slope of the ridge about 1000 yards from the battalion's positions. Herea small force of the enemy was again intercepted, and in a brisk fire fight,were driven off, with a loss of twelve known killed. One of our men was killedin this action. At about 1630 hours, one reserve company was moved to a woodedknoll about 800 yards west of the pass to provide observation and security inthat direction.

11 SEPT - At 0700 hours on 11 September, outposts reported the-movement of acolumnof about 200 troops through the town of SALA headed in direction of MT.CERRETO. At 1100 hours, 1st Battalion, 143rd Infantry arrived to augment de-fenses of north ridge, permitting withdrawal of one company this battalion tostrengthen defenses south of the pass. At about 1430 hours, a small enemypatrol effected a slight penetration between the right flank of this battalionand the left flank of the 1st Ranger Battalion. This patrol was driven back oby mortar fire and fire from cannon of Ranger Provisional Cannon Company, with-Q oout loss to ourselves and with undetermined losses to the enemy.

The leader of the patrol was killed and iden-tified as a member of a parachute regiment out of the Hermann Goering Division.The remainder of the patrol escaped. At about 1000 hours, a sizeable force ofthe enemy was discovered moving into positions on a ridge opposite our flankdefenses. A mortar concentration involving the use of six 60mm nortars was laidwith devastating effect, and the enemy withdrew in considerable haste. Froma wounded prisoner, it was established that the force had consisted of about200 troops fXom the Hermann Goering Division. The rout was described by theprisoner as being complete and casualties many. Tatrols found much to confirmthis report in the way of abandoned equipment, blood and bandages, but onlynine bodies were found. The company occupying the knoll west of the pass wasrecalled to form a reserve.

13 SEPT to 30 SEPT - Battalion continued outpost duty without incident, whichfunction it continued until relieved by elements of 4th Ranger Battalion on17 Sept. During the above period, enemy mortar and artillery fire fell invarying degrees of intensity in the areas occupied by the battalion, killingthree and wounding seventeen, two of whom later died. On 18 September, thebattalion moved into bivouac area one-half mile west of POLVICA, remainingthere until 27 September, whan the battalion, marching over the mountain by wayof VENA S. MARCO, moved on the town of SALA, with the mission of seizing abridgehead on the NAPLES PLAIN to permit debouchement of British armored unitsfrom TRANONTI di CHIUNZA.

Battalion moved in approach march formation North dovn road to 998275 where it

divided into two groups: C,D,Hq,A,B, moved '00 yds Fast of road and then proceeded

North paralleling road, while E,F, & Hq. followed by Force Hq. moved down road.

Battalion Headquarters was separated into two elements. The C.O. and S-5 and radio. .peraor were with C,DArB Companies; the rem&inder. adqaters with the-a-.

in charge followed F and F Companies. C Company, forming the advance guard,

encountered MG fire at (002275); D Company was moved to the right flank of C

Company where they were pinned dovm by MG fire. The field was flat and afforded

little cover except for irrigation ditches that were interlaced in the field. These

were about one foot deep. The eneny then opened fire with a number of .,.Gs and

mortars and small arms. CD,A,B Co:ipanies and Hq were all pinned down. Thrusts

were made to find loop holes in enenV line but were met with heavy fire. This

emen line proved to be their AA.L.R. and was manned by a Prrachute Machine Gun

Battalion and consisted of a 10G position about every 100 yds. and riflemen about

every 10 yds. Positions were in dep'th and were well canouflaaed nd dug in. MGs

were firing about one foot above the ground with very effective cross fire. Pt

0600 hrs. the companies dug in to the defensive; Apjhroximnte positions: C Comparpy

at (002275), B Company at (004275), D Company at (004P74), A Company at (o06276).

E&F Companies xere moved to (997267). Sniping and TAG fire ftom the oneny was

received when personnel exposed themselves during the morning hours. However, the

afterdoon found conditions very quiet and movement met very little eneny fire. An

.. .atta k was made at i50 from positions in field by A arid B Companies ith E and F

(Report of Action, 15 -uary 44)

Companies attacking West of road. Companies A & B met with heavy MG fire, but

advanced to within 200 yds of eneu positions tre the fire became so intense

that further movement was impossible. E Company destroyed two MG positions west of

road and advanced to (000278) where elements of the company captured a building

which overlooked enemy positions and was about 150 yds. in front of their M.L.R.

At darkness the Battalion was ordered to hold all positions gained, which was done

with spasmotic exchanges of fire between our lines and the enemy line which were

-. ap.proxately. Z0Q.yds apa;t.. BaBtta (Q C0P smovedfrom the field to (Q0272).

F & C Companies were brought back as Battalion reserve. E .Company maintained

position gained. D Company remained in positions in field as reserve for A & B

Companies. At 11OU hrs 61 January the Battalion was order to attack and take

buildings at right and left of road at (003280). 4.2 mortar fire was brought

on half tracks and two medium tanks were in close support; however, their movement

was restrictcd by a mine field at (002250) and muddy fields. The tanks and 75 S/P

laid down fire on the enemy positions. Under this fire, together with small arms

and MG fire from F Company, F Company with C Company in support moved up ditch on

East side of rbd to (002280) where they attacked buildings on right and left of road**.--'--

Both groups of buildings were taken by 1200 after heavy fighting. The mine swepers

moved up the ditch and commenced clearing the mine field which was done quickly as

the mines were placed only on top of the road, not dug in. kt 1600 hr.s. enemy of

approximately platoon strength were observed moving West on road to (005281). Small

arms fire forced enemy to take cover in ditches Lnd buildings. The hbif-trecks were

then moved to (003281) where they placed direct fire on buildings and ditches. 20

of the enemy surrendered and came to our line waving white handkerchiefs; the

remainder withdrew to the North. D Company with two light tanks moved toward building

(009278) and took same. The positions were consolidated end the companiea proceeded

with mopping up operations. The M.L.R. having been broken, the Germans in the field

gave up to the infantry troops following up. Approximately 19 Germans were killedand 15 wounded in this operation. Our

(Ref ort of Action, 15 Fe -iay 1944)

casualties were high. See attached casualty report. Approximately 150 Germans

were taken prisoner from the fields where the original attacks were made.

At 1800 hrs the Battalion was given the mission of guarding the lines

of communication from 002280 to 0962165, also of occuiying a defensive position

in case of' enenV breakthrough along that line.

area. The entire Bat in consolidated their positionsp 4th machine gun strong

points.

On February 12th there was spasmotic shelling of our positions during the

day by high velocity guns which were believed to be self propelled. At 2030 hrs

a patrol of 1 officer and 8 EM went out about 900 yds over designated route in

front of the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment with the mission

of investigating area and capturing prisoners. This patrol stayed out till 2315

without contacting any enemy. At 1530 hrs C Company, 4th Ranger Battalion was

attached tactically to the 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

C Company moved into positions on the line with the 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute

Infantry Regiment, and B Company spread out at 2000 hrs to take over the line held

by C Company.

O~ry~ait -15 EM eit out at 1845 hrs in 1the same vicinity as the patrol of the 12th with the same mission. The patrol

contacted the enemy but retired under heavy enemy machine gun, rifle, and mortar

fire. The patrol returned ,at 2310 hrs With 2 wounded men. There was spasmotic

artillery fire laid in the Battalion area all day.

O. February-14th at 0300 hrs the Battalion was alerted by the 504th

Parachute Infantry Regiment. At 0525 hrs the S-3 of the 504th Parachute Infantry

Regiment reported enemy infantry and tanks moving towards their 2nd Battalion.

The 4th Ranger Battalion was prepared to counterattack any enemy breakthrough.

A and B Companies were imediately alerted but were not needed as the attack was

broken up. At 1900 hrs a patrol of 10 EM moved out to 048268 and set up a "V"

shaped trap to capture any enemy using the road. This patrol stayed in position

• j

(Report of Action, 1 t 99 February 1944)

Battalion was alerted to support the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry

Regiment as the enemy were attacking their position. The 2nd Battalion repulsed

the attack; consequently the 4th Ranger Battalion was not used. At 1000 hrs

enemy aircraft strafed the area. The remainder of the day was spent in

preparation for the relief of the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment,

who were then in positions on the line. At 1830 hrs B and D Companies moved to

positions in the line. At 1915 hrs A,E,F Companies moved to their positions in

-the line. At 2000 hrs'C Compan-y was relieved-from the 1st-Battalion, 504 Pardchute.

Infantry Regiment and moved to reserve position for the Battalion. At 2050 hrs

Battalion Headquarters moved to new C.P. All companies were in position as shown

on attached overla7 at 2350 hrs. The 2nd Battalion, 504th Infantry Regiment was

relieved ard occupied positions left by the 4th Ranger Battalion. The following

units were attached to the 4th Ranger Battalion: 1st & 3rd Platoons, D Btry,

376 Field Artillery Battalion; 2nd Platoon, C Company, 84th Chemical Battalion;

1st Platoon, A Company, 751st Tank Battalion; Platoon of A Company, 601 Tank

Destroyer Battalion. Our positions were on enemyside of ditch and were maned by

five companies on the line with one company in reserve-. The Battalion fire power

was extreemly heavy. On the line were three 50 caliber machine guns, six heavy

and 30 light machine guns in addition to our mormal fire power. .l1 implacements

were well dug in and reinforced with sandbags. Some positions, as time permitted,

were dug through the bank to enable better fields of fire and much better cover.

All bridges leading into our area were previously blown and mine fields consisting

of both anti-tank and anti-personnel mines had been established along likely

approaches. During hours of darkness listening posts were sent out in front of

the line approximately 150 yards to give added security. The line was not

impregnable but definitely unhealthly from an enemy view point. Backing this iine

were the artillery, 4.2 mortars, 81mm mortars, tank destroyers, and medium tanks.

(See attached overlay)

On February 17 there was intermittant enemy artillery and mortar fire

. I

(Report of Action, I to_#Q, February 1944)

laid on our lines. There was a heavy exchange of machine gun and sniper fire

during the day with an estimated three enemy casualties. Our mortar and artillery

fire was more active than the enemy's and with better effect.

On February 18th there was intermittant enemy artillery and mortar fire laid

on our line. Self propelled guns shelled the line spasmodically all day and enemy

20mm guns and machine guns were also active. Our artillery and 4.2 mortars fired

on the self propelled guns, but no direct hits were observed. Our 60mm mortars

fired on all enemy positions they could reach to their immediate front,. The enemy

line consisting of machine gun strong points was approximately 500 yds in front of

our line. The enemy troops maning this line were very careless and exposed them-

selves unnecessarily until heavy casualties brought them to their senses. However,

when this enemy unit was relieved the new unit was likewise poorly trained and was

dealt with in similiar manner. At 1900 hrs a patrol of 1 officer and 15 EM pro-

ceeded to 045278 with the mission of gaining information of enemy positions and

capturing prisoners. The patrol encountered heavy enemy machine gun and small arms

fire at this point. Being unable to move forward the patrol returned to our lines.

On February 19th the enemy laid down intensive intermittant fire all day

with heavy artillery, mortars, self propelled guns, and machine gun fire. Communica-

tions wires were cut by artillery fire three times during the day but communication

was maintained by use of 609 radios. Our artillery and mortars were very active

firing on all enemy installations and positions observed.

On February 20th there was intermittant artillery and mortar fire laid on

our lines but no flak wagon or self propelled gun fire was noted during the day.

The enemy shot propaganda leaflets at our lines once during the day. Small groups

of enemy were noted and our artillery and mortars fired on them and an enemy mortar

position.

On February 21st the enemy moved up close on our right flank but had two

of their outposts knocked out by our mortar fire inflicting about eight casualties

on them. At 1850 hrs a patrol of eight EM ,,ere sent out to 041274 to reconnoiter

(Report of Action, 1 to '79 February 1944)

for enemy emplacements. Finding none the patrol returned. There was intermittant

enemy artillery and mortar fire laid on our lines during the 24 hour period.

On February 22nd an enemy patrol came south down road toward bridge at

041274. The patrol was driven off by machine gun fire. There was intermittant

artillery, mortar, self propelled guns, and flak wagons firing on our lines during

the day. Artillery and mortars fired on enemy positions and 4.2 mortars knocked

out one enemy self propelled gun. Enemy seems to be building a line across canal

-at 051267 as about 50 were-seen digging in in this vicinity. 4.2 and 60mm mortar

fire was laid on them inflicting approximately 9 casualties and driving them to

east side of canal.

On February 23rd the enemy tried all day to secure positions at 049262

but was dispersed or driven back by our mortar fire. These enemy groups were

supported by artillery, mortar, self propelled gun, and flak wagon fire. At 2200 hrs

a patrol was sent out to get papers off a dead German at 048266. The identification

papers were obtained and the patrol returned without contacting the enemy. At

2230 hrs our tank destroyers tried to get an enemy self propelled gun in their

sights under a 60m flare. The tank destroyer fired four rounds with undetermined

results. The enemy self propelled gun had been coming to within 700 yds of our

positions and firing directly into our line on the bank of the canal. This action

may have been two fold. Harrasing or attempting to draw fire from our heavy mortars

and close support artillery. Likewise the gun would hide behind buildings and

during daylight pull out and blast directly into our lines or buildings behind the

lines firing ten to twenty rounds then pull under cover of buildings from our

artillery fire. At 2300 hrs C Company sent out a patrol to reconoiter area around

041278. No enemy were encountered. Enemy only seemed to be trying to work close

to our positions in that area.

On February 24 there was light enemy artillery and self propelled gun fire

laid on our positions. A patrol of five F] went out to try to feel out enemy and

was held down by enemy MG and machine pistol fire. One man vas believed killed and

(Report of Action, 1 to 7 -Februaxy 1944)

had to be left due to enemy fire. Our artillery and mortars were not quite as

active as on the previous days, but 4.2 mortars knocked out an 'enemy 20mm gun.

On February 25th there was just light spasmodic enemy artillery fire laid

on our positions. There was a great deal of movement noted on Highway #7. Our

artillery and mortars fired a few times with the mortars knocking out an enemy 20mm

gun on a ground mount. At 1900 hrs C Company relieved F Company of their front line

positions. F Company moved into reserve in C Company's former position.

On February 26th there was light enemy artillery, self propelled gun, and

mortar fire laid on our area. Our artillery and mortars fired at enemy positions

S and self propelled guns with unknown effect.

On February 27th there was light artillery and mortar fire both friendly

and enemy. Two enemy self propelled guns fired on our lines during the day. There

was a great deal of enemy vehicle movement on Highway 7 during the day.

On February 28th there was intermittant artillery, mortar, machine gun,

and self propelled gun fire laid on our lines all day with one strong concentration

0 of fire at 1210 hrs which lasted about 30 minutes and seemed to be a 47mm gun. At

1500 hrs our tank destroyers returned fire of an enemy self propelled gun with

undetermined results. Our artillery and mortars silenced the enemy guns every time

they opened up with the exception of the enemy's big guns which were firing at a

great distance and couldn't be picked up by our observers. There was heavy traffic

on Highway #7 with the majority of it going north toward Cisternia di Littoria. At

1945 hrs a patrol of 5 EM went to 049665 where there was a known enemy O.P. The

patrol got within 20 yds of the enemy O.P. but had to withdraw due to enemy machine

gun and rifle fire. The patrol returned at 2150 hrs.

On February 29th the enemy's artillery, mortars, self propelled guns, flak

wagons, tanks and infantry were very active all day. There were two attacks on our

left f ank during the day, one at 0645 hrs at 059275, and one at 2100 hrs. These

attaoks were driven back by artillery, mortar, and machine gun fire. Our artillery

and mortars fired on all targets that they could see, and although no direct hits

'Report of Action, 1 to;, February 1944)

were observed, the enemy guns ceased firing. During the first attack an enemy tank

was believed to have been blown up by our mine field. A German prisoner taken in

the first attack stated that it was a company attack of 180 men and that thesupposed tank was an electrically controlled tank with high explosives in it.

Heavy casualties were believed t have been inflicted on the enemy as the prisoner

stated that he was dressing the-wounds of four men, and enemy were observed all

day-trying to-eseap6-rem our mortar--and-artillerr Tfre- .. The -engineers laid anti--

tank mines at 2105 hrs under protection of our patrol.

On March 1st the Battalion was still attached to the 504th

Parachute Infantry Regiment with the mission of holding the line

between (032272,- 046256). Companies were in position as shown on

attached overlay. There was intermittant artillery, mortar, self

propelled gun, and flak wagon fire laid on our positions. There

also was direct fire from enemy tanks laid on our position which

caved in many fox holes. Our artillery knocked out two Mark IV

tanks and one personnel carrier and also fired at small groups of- -

the enemy. There was fairy eavy al c'moving

On March 2nd there was heavy traffic of vehicles all day

in front of our positions with most of it on Highway 7. There was

intermittant artillery, mortar, self propelled gun, flak wagon, and

machine gun fire laid on our positions all day. There was hardly

any enemy personnel seen during the day. Our artillery, mortars, and

machine guns fired at all targets with undetermined effect. Our

mortars laid a smoke screen for our tank destroyers and tanks when

they fired on all houses in front of our positions. They ran out

two enemy tanks and knocked out one small vehicle and one personnel

carrier or flak wagon. Our mortars also fired on enemy positions at

(060276) which was believed to be an enemy C.P. F Company moved

from reserve position and relieved D Company at 2100 hours. D Company

moved back to reserve. I ISO

(Report of Action, to 25 March, 1944 Cont'd)

shelled by artillery, mortar, 20mm gun, and machine gun fire all day.

Most of the shelling was from enemy mortars and heavy artillery which

was at least 170mm. Our artillery, mortars, and machine guns fired

on all targets with the mortars and machine guns concentrating their

fire on enemy 20mm guns and machine guns. Our fire sould not reach

the big guns, so they were never silenced.

.On ,March 4th there was intermittat artillery, mortar, self

propelled gun, flak wagon, and small arms fire laid on our positions

all day. Most of this fire was on our right flank with two strong

concentrations of mortar and artillery fire which seemed to be laid

as if there were an attack coming. Much of it was smo-ke. Noattack

Uyoqg.. e .wkh as ieved to be due to the fact that our artillery

and mortars seemed to silence all enemy guns that were close and
