ON THE SOMME
MINUTENESS OF TRENCH PREPARATION
PROTECTING ADVANCE OF
INFANTRY.
(Received September 25, 12.15 p.m.)
PARIS, 24th September.

The minuteness of the artillery preparation and aerial observation enabled the infantry to advance under a curtain of shells, which moved continuously two hundred yards ahead of them.
