British establish bridgehead over Trigno
Friday, October 22, 1943 www.onwar.com

In Italy... The British 8th Army launches an offensive on the east coast. Elements seize a small bridgehead over the Trigno during the night. Meanwhile, the US 5th Army continues its offensive operations with limited success.

From London... General Laycock becomes the British Chief of Combined Operations.

Driving along the Ernie Pyle Memorial Highway (US 36) in western Indiana yesterday, overnight near Rockville -- county seat just east of Vermillian County, where Pyle grew up.

Last night here was the season's first frost, leaves are in full fall colors, on fields and roads run huge combines with grain bins on rubber tracks.
Seems like over half the crops are harvested, so far.
Some fields have livestock eating the leftovers.
On others, huge eight-wheel tractors pulling disks for winter crops.

Doubtful if Ernie Pyle would find all this exciting enough, but for many people, it's as close to the good life as you'll find in this one.
