Victory HUN fronts pushed back with turning-point tone
Allied gains north of the Oureq river push the German lines toward Basouchep as French and British forces advance five miles along a five mile front. The battle sees the Allies occupying Lartennes-et-Taux and a wood south, with German villages burned as they retire and the front consolidating on ridges between the Oureq and Aisne rivers. The report describes a possible turning point of the war as American and Franco-British troops press toward the Marne sector.
