Khorramabad, Lorestan province, Iran*

The Division advance continues, now heading north from Khorramabad toward Borujerd, the second largest town of Lorestan province. The 1st Infantry Division to our north have made it roughly halfway to Teheran. The 1st Marine Division is approaching Esfahan. The British are making good progress in the south. Public opinion in the world is overwhelmingly negative to the invasion, with one exception, that is of course Israel. There is no news from the diplomatic front. Few Iranians have come forward to embrace their liberation.*
*
TERRAIN AND WEATHER:* 
Borujerd is one of Iran’s oldest cities; and indeed one of the world’s oldest cities. It is nicknamed Dar-al-Sorur which means the House of Happiness. All in all it’s a fairly typical town of this region.*
