Germans Report Attacks Near Bapaume and Thiaumont Sector
London dispatches describe heavy British artillery activity along the Franco-Belgian front over two to three days amid signs of a planned concerted Allied offensive. German reports cite gas clouds, intense shelling near the Somme, and renewed French attempts at Thiaumont while Fleury remains contested. Three Allied aeroplanes dropped 65 shells on German ships near the Belgian coast as Verdun’s focus shifts to British-front operations.
