Allies Drive in Flanders Pressing German Lines
In renewed operations near Ypres and along the Scheldt the British and French forces captured Poelcapelle and Gravenstafel ridge while widening the breach in German defenses. French storming to the south of the forest of Houtholst pierced the front, advancing about a mile and a quarter. The push follows recent German setbacks as the Allies step up pressure on multiple fronts.
