In northern France, the French breached the third German line along a 3.75 mile front north of the Somme, seizing trenches up to two thirds of a mile deep and capturing 1,000 German prisoners and 32 machine guns. The advance stretches from Hardecourt to the Somme at Buscourt and includes partial occupation of Maurepas.
