Gravedigger toiled through shells as war raged near Levignon

The account describes a village helper from Rouville aiding burial and cremation of 3000 German dead and 1000 Allied troops after fierce fighting around Levignon and the forest of Villere Cotterets. Amid artillery duels near Le Cateau, trenches shifted and battles intensified with heavy losses.

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.
