Further efforts by the British to ad-

Amara have been futile. the failure Of

been systematically bombarded on the
goth and 21st at intervals during each

to floods 1t was found possible for
one brigade only 10 attack over very

gallantry and penetrated the enemys

up into the third line. The brigade,
however, was unable to maintain IT.
self under the enemy's counter-at-
tacks. Other brigades, pushed up on
the right and left to reinforce, were
unable to reach their objective across
the flooded, boggy ground under
heavy machine gun fire. our troops
on the right bank also were unable
to make much progress.
