Russians Breaking Teuton Line Drive to Halicz Opens Way to Lemberg
Korniloff forms a dangerous salient in eastern Galicia as his troops breach the Austro German front between Stanislau and Halicz south east of Lemberg. Villages fall and over 1,000 prisoners and three guns are reported. Repeated German counterattacks slow the advance but the Russian position grows stronger. Simultaneously German efforts along the Chemin des Dames plateau fail and Haig makes gains east of Messines near Ostaverne and Wytschaete.
