eight miles east OF Ypres, cutting
into the German lines to a maximum
depth of about a mile and taking

objectives were attained. Among the
positions taken are Veldhoek and the

After artillery preparation, which
is characterized as the heaviest ever

thrown over the German lines, the
deepest barrage. it Is said, that has
ever been used. In some places
there were five barfages thrown out

been kept worrying for several weeks
