TAUNTON DAILY GAZETTE, Massachusetts, September 4, 1943
* Operation Avalanche
* Allies invade Italy
This 12 page newspaper has a nice three line banner headline on the front page: "Allied Reinforcements Pour Into Italy As Eighth Army Sweeps Inland Taking Many Prisoners; Meet Little Opposition"
Nice headline for display.
Other news of the day throughout with much on WWII. Light browning with little margin wear, otherwise good.
