British, American
Commandos Stage
Raid On Reds
SEOUL, Korea, (/P) — British
and American marines ripped
through Red defenses 130 miles
behind the front in the most
powerful hit-and-run commando
raid of the Korean war, the Allies
announced today.

stormed ashore on the east coast
Sunday night under cover of
heavy naval gunfire. The troops
shot up communist communica
tions and transport midw#ay be
tween the Soviet frontier and the
front.
The announcement was with
held until, presumably, the raid
ers had withdrawn. U.N. naval
headquarters listed two British
commandos as wounded. No U.S.
marine casualties were reported.

beaches near Tanchon, 170 miles

astride communist coastal trans
port lines.

two days after the Reds ‘captured
the island of Taehwa, far up on
Red Korea’s west coast between
the mouths of the Yalu and
Chongchoc rivers.
Bitter cold became the worst
enemy of infantrymen on both
sides of the 145-mile front lines.
Temperatures dropped to zero in
the eastern mountains. There was
i so little fighting the U.S. Eighth
; Army communique reported ac
! tions by squads.
