Their counter attacks with heavy effec- tives were renewed several times. especially south of Banogne and Moulin Herpy. These broke up against the resistance of our troops, who everywhere repulsed the enemy and maintained their positions.
 "The number of prisoners taken in this region since yesterday ex- ceeds 2,000. One of our divisions alone captured several hundred machine guns.
 Aviation: On October 20 our air sqtfadrons gave our troops eff fective cooperation during the battle engaged along the front of the fifth army. Our pursuit patrols, likewise, circled over the field of battle at a height from one to two hundred meters, assuring security of the air. Our observation planes, flying still lower, machine gunned enemy troops, conveys and bat teries, supporting the tanks in their attacks, regulating the fire of our artillery and marking the advance of the infantry.

Another at an altitude of less than 300 meters carried out a reconnais- sance five miles inside the enemy lines and was able to report large enemy endorsements arriving by camions in the region of St Far geau, which were immediately taken under our fire.
