With the British Armies in France,

opposition in others, the British are
advancing along the whole extent of

of Arras to southwark of the river

A heavy rainst0rm which ended a
perfect fighting day yesterday, fell up
on the flat British helmets only 700
yards from the Hindenburg line where
Henin hill (south of Cojeul river) slopes
eastward to the formidable barrier.

Of Bapaume) English troops went on TO
the high ground eastward.
Near Morry tfour miles north of
Bapaumel a guards division (Scots,
lrish Welsh and Grenadiers) met
heavy fighting in counter attack.

also was strongly held. Here, as at
Thilloy "a mile southwest of Bapaume)
