Steinbach Fighting Behind Front Lines Near Metz
French forces push through upper Alsace toward Metz after a grueling house to house battle at Steinbach. Heavy German fire from roofs and streets blocked progress as Allied artillery and infantry pressed to clear the region and advance toward Alddich, Mulhausen, and Metz. The campaign sees continued operations in Champagne, Arras, and Meuse heights with progress and heavy artillery duels reported. The Meuse heights, Argonne, and Vosges sectors show sporadic gains, while German bombardments persist at St Georges and surrounding areas.
