British advance in Libya

From 'Tank War' by Janusz Piekalkiewicz
Quote:
Monday 15 December 1941, Cairo
British Headquarters announced:
Despite unfavourable weather with low-hanging clouds and rain, the mass of the British troops have made further advances in the area southwest of Gazala. Aerial reconnaissance confirms that General Rommel has occupied strong fortified positions in the Jebel Akdar region. General Rommel has succeeded in organising an ordered retreat.
