northeast of St. Julien the Germans
made two heavy counter attacks
against redoubt positions which the
British had captured yesterday morn
ing.
very determined assault in the neigh
borhood of Boetleer farm, east of st.
Julien. was driven off. North OF this
place the German succeeded in regaining
two redoubts. Subsequently the British
countered in turn and forced them from
one of these, leaving the other still in en-
envy hands.
From the British standpoint the situa-
ton resulting from the new offensive is
exceedingly satisfactory. Weather con-
ditions were ideal today and consolida-
tions were proceeding rapidly. In num-
Der of places the British improved their
line somewhat during the night by estab-
fishing posts still further forward.
The two companies of Argyll and Sutr-
erland Highlanders who made such a re-
markable stand Tuesday and Tuesday
night in the face of overwhelming odds
against German attacks in the neighbor-
hood of the YpresMenin road, and who
were mentioned in the official report for
their great gallantry, are the heroes OF
the hour along the front. They were fl
nally relieved by the advancing troops
from their isolated position, where they
had been cut off by the Germans in the
early operations.
Their unit was involved in furious
German counter attacks which were begun
Tuesday morning, probably in an effort
to disrupt the expected British offensive.
They were attacked about dawn by ele-
ments of four German divisions. So bitter
was the enemy assault that the British
troops were sent back, but the two COM
panies of Highlanders refused to give
ground and chung stubbornly to their
posts in the face of terrific blows from
the enemy.
The battle ragged all morning.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
British counter attacked and fought their
way forward until they had re-establsh-
ed themselves in virtually all the ground
lost But they were still some distance
short of the two companies who valiant
ly held their own.
All afternoon and throughout the night
the Highlanders stuck to their positions.
although the enemy continued to rush
forward infantry in an attempt to dis
lodge them. And here this handful of in
trepid Scots were found and rescued
when the British advance swept forward
at daybreak Wednesday morning.
