due mainly to our superiority in the air
service which directs the artillery.
The million pounds of explosives set
off certainly was an aid in the attack
since it caused a panic among the Ger
mans and permitted out men to get
through more easily But our mines
were under the German front line trench
es- which were not held strongly, so T
believe the explosions caused only a
small proportion Of the casualties which
the Germans suffered.
"Our success in attaining everything
we set out to get in this battle is the
more striking because the Germans
knew an attack was impending. | have
just secured some German orders which
were captured from prisoners and these
show that the enemy was conversant
Of what was going on.
THE destruction caused by our art
illery in this battle was terrific. | have
toured the section since the attack and
found every digont. every observation
post, every trench and every machine
gun emplacement smashed. This means
