Bombardment Intensity on French Frontes and British Drive Expected
London dispatches stress intense bombardment on the German lines in France and Flanders. French forces hold the north of Verdun while German attacks in the Thiaumont and Fleury sectors are checked by Nivelle’s artillery and infantry. British headquarters report broad front bombardment since Sunday, with shell bursts seen across Somme and Vimy ridge, and successful trench raids capturing prisoners. Berlin anticipates a major British push, while wary of Kitchener’s new armada.
