an investigation of the New

This map shows graphically
how the Germans have been at
lacking Verdun, French fortress.
The black line shows the battle
front before the great drive
started.
German heavy cannonfire was
directed against Forts Marie %
and Douamont ca.
The capture of Douamont was
preceded by the collapse of the
French line about Beaumont and
Louvemont, followed by the TAX
ing of the Pepper heights, between
Louvemont and Fort de Doua-
mont.
The shaded sections indicate
the forests ("foret)) in French)
In the zone of battle. Little ar.
rows behind the original line in
dictate the direction of the first
German assaults.
The first success came in the
Bots des Laures, woods directly
north of Verdun. The German
gains of the first day were be-
tween Brabant and Gremilly.
Repeated assaults brought the
Germans to Champneuville, Beau
mont and Ornes, but the French
line still held intact. Not until
the SCATTERING OF the defenses at
Louvemont were the Germans
able to gain except in foot-by-foot
advances. f@
The small dots are hamlets or
fortified farms. The scale of
miles shows the Germans are now
only three miles from Verdun.
