During the last week in July,General Montgomery gathered his forces to renew the attack on 1 August. His immediate objective was Adrano, the capture of which would split the German forces on either side of Mount Etna. During the week, the 1^st Canada Division continued their eastward push from Leonforte, and on 29 July had taken Agira, some 15 miles west of Adrano. On the night of 29 July, the British 78^th Division with the 1st Canadian Division under command, took Catenanuova and made a bridgehead across the river Dittaino.

 

On the night of 1 August, they resumed their attack to the northwest toward Centuripe, an isolated pinnacle of rock, which was the main southern outpost of the Adrano defences. After heavy fighting against the Hermann Goring Division and the 28^th Italian Division all day on 2 August, the town was finally cleared of defenders on the morning of 3 August. The capture of Centuripe proved critical, in that the growing threat to Adrano made the position covering Catania untenable.

 

It is 1^st August 1943 Canadian Division must attack and secure many strongholds around Etna Mountain and then Capture Catania.
