Fall of Noyon From Humbert Mangin Drives Germans Back
Amid weeks of Allied blows on the Picardy front General Humbert and General Mangin push into German lines north of the Somme and along the Oise while Byng pressures near the Ancre and Albert towns. French and British forces claim momentum toward Noyon as German resistance weakens and dispatches note gains in the Vesle and Aisne sectors.
