Gunners Halt German Drive in Flanders Action

The attack between La Clytte and Voormezeele involved the 52nd Reserve and 46th divisions, but heavy British and French bombardments along the Ypres Comines canal and a French push west of Locre blunted the plan, limiting the attack to a two-division effort against British lines at Ridgewood.
