- By early August both the U.S. 7th Army under Patton and the British
- 8th Army under Montgomery were racing towards the city of Messina. Spoiling
- their race was the skillful delaying actions by the withdrawing German
- Army. In this scenario the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division is driving up the
- coastal road towards the town of Santa Agata. Once again the men of the
- 3rd Division came under heavy fire. What followed was typical of the
- Sicily campaign.
