The Importance of the three months

distance advanced or the number OF

looked for in the effect upon the enc

successful counter attacks without
causing our allies or ourselves to re-

In this action troops from every part
Of the British Empire and British ISL

the highest degree the spirit Of the

have fought many battles in the air
with hostile machines and many with
enemy troops on the ground. For every
enemy machine that succeeds in cross
