We drove off a later attempt wherein the Germans were assisted by flammenwerfer, southward of Souchez river. We successfully made a night raid eastward of Ypres." The French communique states: — "We carried the centre of resistance in the region of Chevreuyx, German grenade counter-attacks broke down under our fire.
