Scots throw Huns Back
PICKED BOOHES THROWN BACK. [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Sunday, 7.20 p.m.) LONDON, July 27. Mr Phillip Gibbs writes this morning: The futile attack on Meteron was made by six companies belonging to a German division which had recently arrived in the line to relieve the division which the Australians and Scottish had almost destroyed. The Germans advanced resolutely after heavily bombarding th c Scottish positions, but were raked by our fire from the start and never reached thc road through our positions, which was their goal. They made some progress on the right, but the Scottish infantry drove them back with severe losses, the enemy only gaining a small outpost.
