AÏN SEBAA BATTLE (east of Casablanca) :
On 10th November at dawn, the US infantry supported by M5 Stuarts attack the II/6e RTS and the sailors in Aïn Sebaa. The French 90mm AA guns causes many KIA by firing on US mortar positions which have to be changed frequently but the French guns are neutralized by heavy naval artillery fire. At 11h00 the French are forced to leave Aïn Sebaa and to move to the main resistance line. Two sailors platoons have sustained 50% losses and encircled are forced to surrender. The other units manage to retreat properly.
2 French avisos, the "Commandant Delage" and the "Gracieuse" block the US offensive with their 100mm guns but are forced to flee in front of the cruiser "Augusta" and the destroyers "Edison", "Boyle", "Tillman" and "Rowan". The US attack is stopped here, they are waiting for the M4 Sherman tanks who landed in Safi.
