A REPORT FROM HAIG.

In a supplementary Sir Douglas Haig states there were gallant exploits at the Somme. Twenty divisions are mentioned, including the Fourth, which broke enemy attacks on the north bank of the Scarpe, on 28th August, and in the face of strong resisvance on 2nd September, carried the defences of the Droncourt-Queant line. Tho Thirty-Second Division, after heavy fighting at Dammey on the 10th and 11th August, captured Herlesyille on 23rd August, then Vermandobillier and Alandovulers on 227 th August, and successfully participated with the Australians in the advance across the Somme. Sir Douglas Haig states that his account of the doings of these different JLnglo-Seottish-Welsh Divisions is necessarily brief and incomplete. On the same battlefields whereon they withstood the heaviest assault the British Army has ever faced, all have fought side by side, with the splendid V1 *» sions from Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, with a courage, gallantry and enterprise only equalled by their success.
