side of the Cambria road with orders 10

man artillery was bad and not seldom
fired short.
The prisoners say some companies re-
fused to advance. Two regiments or
parts thereof did make an attack which
gained a temporary advantage in the
area OF the Bots du Sart. When the
Canadian advance came those two rsGi-
ments were simply eaten up. A third
regiment which was found later to be
holding positions In the area of Boiry
was broken like the other two.
South OF the Cambria, road also the
enemy had thrown in a new division, but
II was utterly powerless TO check the
Canadian advance. The trenches every
where were fully manned and The Ger
man casualties undoubtedly were heavy.
Behind the infantry the guns came up
fast, and across the Sensee our gunners
saw the German field batteries trying to
get away; they had magnificent targets.
Among the prisoners at Cherlsy was
one battalion commander who WAS I'M
able. even IL he tried hard, to prevent
his men from preparing to surrender as
soon as the English came along. Parts
OF Ave German divisions were met by
one division on our side south OF the
Cambria road.
The troops that took Croisiles had
much hard fighting. The Germans had
strict orders to hold that place to the
uttermost. Machine guns made it i'm
possible to carry the place by direct
attack but yesterday Scottish troops
on the left fought their way to the
north OF the village right up to the
defenses of the Hindenburg line at Fon-
tame.
Then the English troops on the right
forced a crossing OF the river below and
swung around to meet their comrades in
tho north. Thus partially surrounded

defence.
