German Frontline Push Under Heavy Fire Stuns Witness
An infantry officer recalls German troops advancing under intense bombardment near a village about 1200 yards from his trench line. They pressed along fences and houses, refusing to face open ground while the British guns struggled to reply. A field of roots drew artillery fire, and cows in the trench area were driven off to avoid mishap. Later high angle fire and enfilading artillery increased the danger as the assault continued.
