Germans Lose Heavily in Desperate Ypres Effort
Desperate German attempts to regain lost ground in the Ypres sector failed as British positions held firm. Four counterattacks by the Germans caused casualties but were repulsed. British seaplanes bombed Belgian targets. Front-line fighting intensified on the French front with a major artillery duel signaling another major offensive. Australians and other Allied troops pressed near Polygon Wood while northwest of Zonnebeke heavy fighting continued. Overall, the British line remained largely unchanged and the offensive proceeded with strong Allied defense plus ongoing bombardment.
