25 March 1941

Enemy garrison at Maaten Bescer (until now 30-40 motor vehicles) has apparently withdrawn to the Marsa Brega narrows after Agheila was taken. On 25 March only one enemy patrol was noted on the track Marsa Brega – B.es Suera.

A supply transport for Marada had to be delayed since the road Agheila – Marada was covered by sand drifts in several places.

Operation order to 5.lei.Div. and Div. Brescia see copy.
