the trench was less than losing it.
They got about thousand yards with
the first rush. Mostly they met the
Germans coming from their dugouts,
and it was hand to hand when the
Germans did not yield.
AS soon as they had yielded they
were started back toward the British
rear, for in the maze of traverses
where rifles and bombs are lying about

tray. The next day a faint rumble
like that of a human voice came from
a pile OF earth and it was found that
one OF the nigh explosives had

When an officer and some men came
to the edge of the mine crater they
found nearly a hundred Germans in
the bottom of it where they mad

The British looked down at the Ger
mans and the Germans locked up at
the British. AS one of the men said.
the surprise was mutual, but the Ger

Rushing up the traverses the Brit

with bombs, gaining more ground. In

used the Germans.

Once over the decentralization caused
by the crash CT the bursting shells
from the British artillery ccncentra-

their dugouts, began resisting with
bombs. The British, running short
had to fall back traverse by traverse,
pursued by the Germans, thus losing
some of their gain before more bombs
were brought up frcm the rear.
This had to be done under gusts of
shrapnel bullets, for now the Ger

Yesterday evening we captured the

Festubert on a mile front, but failed to
hold them during the night against
strong counter attacks.
The enemy exploded FIVE mines on diff
ferent parts of our front. but none of
these caused any damage to our trenches
and only one caused any casualties.
