German Offense In Somme Ypres Sector Presses On

The German spring offensive expands from the Somme toward Amiens while aiming to separate British and French forces. In the Ypres area, Armentieres and Messines ridge become focal points as German troops push along the Oise and near Estaires. British resistance stiffened by Haig's orders, with heavy losses on both sides, but Allied lines hold, threatening continued pressure on Belgian and northern French soil.
