Battlefront advances stretch from Noyon to Armentieres
Four weeks of sustained combat widen the front across France and Belgium. Allied lines hold from the elbow at Noyon to the Belgian border at Armentieres while German cavalry is driven back northeast into the Armentieres district. The right bank of the Ancre near Arras and the Oise sees a strong German attack repelled, and Belgian and Dutch ports remain crowded with refugees as Antwerp endures bombardment effects.
