This . successful enterprise, ' depriv-•

vation post, straightened out our line
and carried . our' positions. forward
some '200. yards,' thus preparing . the
ground. for, the more ,general assault
of September 16th: .
The morning of• Sept.. 15th dawned
bright and clear. . There was a' frosty
nip ,in the air. 'Suddenly. our massed
artillery burst into a 'frenzy of ac- .
tivity. • Shells' ,of. every calibre . were•
hurled over the heads of the waiting
infantry. • .
shortly/after 6 o'clock our battalions•
began their attack. Before them the
.artillery barrage advanced stage• by'
stage, with a remarkable precision and
a great .intensity. of -fire. In succes,
sive • waves our infantry moved for-
ward, climbing , over the shell -torn
ground, leaping the battered trenches,
Among • them burst the enemy shells."
The: noise was .terrific. Machine, gun
and rifle fire poured into them: Stead-
ily they mounted the' ]est ridge, saw
Martinpuich on • their right, and look-
ed over to the brick ruins 'ands white
chalk mounds of • the sugar refinery
and the trenches to the right and left -
which were to be their objective.
No_sooner were-.the--;8r-st-l-tnes-of
German trenches secured, than 'the
assaulting waves' pressed onwards.' In
