General Juin was convinced that Cassino could be bypassed and the German defences unhinged by this northerly route but his request for reserves to maintain the momentum of his advance was refused and the one available reserve regiment (from 36th Division) was sent to reinforce 34th Division.
General Juin bio je uvjeren da se koristeći sjevernu maršrutu Cassino može zaobići, a njemačke obrambene postrojbe istjerati, ali njegov zahtjev da pričuvne postrojbe zadrže ovaj impuls napredovanja odbijen je, a jedna preostala pričuvna regimenta (36. divizije) poslana je kao pojačanje 34. diviziji.
