London British Wireless Serv-
ice. british tanks uprooted a whole
French village to stop the fire of
German machine guns from houses,
in the recent allied offensive.
The French troops had been SER
iously hampered by the German ma
chine guns in or on the tops of the
houses. Tanks were in the vicinity
and message were sent to them for
assistance. These complied. but the
German machine guns were too well
protected to be knocked out by the
fire from the tank guns. Accordingly
the tank commanders conferred at
the far end of the village and decided
in hurried impromptu war council
to destroy the village by sheer weight
of metal.
The tanks accordingly rammed
house after house, bringing down the
machine guns. extricating themselves
from the ruins of one house. then pro-
ceeding to the next. In this way the
village was captured without a single
British casualty, and at once occupied
by the French.
In another attack a tank was sci
on fire, the officer in command was
killed and the first driver severely
wounded, all within the German lineG
The second driver extinguished the
fire, assumed command, and later In
the day, drove back single handed
preceded by about fifty Germans
whom he had captured unaided
