From LIE Cateau, which was taken
after a struggle. the troops are strik-

The only resistance worth mention

seems to have fled so far east Of the
battle ground as to be out Of range.
The high ground on the eight mile
front between st. Hilaire and LIE

be alive with machine guns when the
British approached and the cavalry
patrols were held up for some time.
