...capture the rich Feres Mai Valley and a number of important wells. Nowhere last week did the Ethiopians fight back very hard. Safely behind the Italian lines Emperor Haile Selassie's renegade son-in-law, Ras Gugsa, strutted about in a helmet and new Italian uniform that General de Bono has given him, returning the stiff salutes of Italian sentries with broad grins...
