the Germans to retreat all along the
line.

tured by Byng's men early in the drive.
(Achiot-le- Petit lies about three
miles directly west of Bapaume.
Achiotlet Grand is about two and a
half miles and Courcelles five miles
northwest of Bapaume.)
The British line in this sector now
runs from Beaucourt, southwest of
Bapaume, to Moyenneville, almost due |
north of Bapaume.
