British Line Holds Solid Against German Assault in France
In France on December 3, German forces launched a major infantry and artillery push in the Gonnellau sector from La Vacquerie to Vendhulle. The British, reinforced, repelled the attack with heavy casualties on both sides and pushed back entries at La Vacquerie as fighting raged along a wide front toward Masnieres. The Field Marshal reported the enemy delivered great strength from Gonne to Marcoing and was repulsed. East Africa was announced as cleared of the enemy.
