French Fight Germans on 100-Mile Line
The French and German armies clashed along a 100 mile front between the Rhine and Moselle as both sides edged their lines in a see-saw battle. French forces reportedly carried out a local advance under cover of darkness and reinforced units prepared for broader engagements with the British possibly taking battle positions. The front remained largely quiet overnight with movements widening to include entire woods, heights and villages as operations expanded. Aerial scouts noted German movements near the Saar area being pressured by French raids on communications. (Concluded at Page 6)
