On the same day, as a result of his personal direction, hiw own company quickly captured the factory area and the CATERINA railway station, wiping out enemy delaying groups and thus enabling 10 Battalion to reach an area NORTH of BOLOGNA and the neighbouring battalion to advance towards CASTEL MAGGIORE.
