Battle of Loos Fierce British Assault on Loos Front
British chronicler Philip Gibbs describes the Loos battle as one of the war's greatest feats. New Army units and Scottish regiments led fierce assaults across uncut wire, through house to house fighting, and quick-succumbing German defenses. Colonels and signallers show conspicuous bravery amid heavy machine gun fire. Sir John French praised the troops as they pressed toward Hill 70 and Hulluch in a two day advance.
