French Drive Huns Back On to 2 Mile Front
French troops push forward along a two mile front south of the Oureq river taking the important ridge between Moslay and Pussy En Yaloia and capturing 265 prisoners including three officers. British actions report heavy artillery east of Steppe wood and possible counterattacks near LyS, while Italians seize Monte Valbella with 500 Austro Hungarian prisoners. Widespread raids, air bombardment, and renewed attacks mark a tense frontier as Allied forces press their gains.
