only few of them escaped. Another
attack, IN which the Germans paid
heavy price. was successful in cap
turing the first line of trenches. These
positions were held by two companies
until April 3. The Germans were so
thick in these trenches that they
crowded each other and interfered
with the freedom of operations. Into
this mass of men the French artillery
fired. Those who escaped the shells
were mostly bayoneted by the French
infantry. only ten men survived.
