Americans advance on Guadalcanal
Wednesday, November 18, 1942 www.onwar.com

In the Solomon Islands... On Guadalcanal, US forces once again begin moving west with reduced opposition.

In North Africa... The British brigade at Djebel Aboid repels a German attack. The British paratroop battalion is now at Sidi Nsir.

In Vichy France... Marshal Petain grants law-making power to Prime Minster Laval, enabling him to issue decrees solely on his own authority. Petain is becoming less important in the government although his influence and prestige remain.

Chutist is a term you don’t hear too often.
