THE LAST OF HILL SIXTY.
HOW THE ALLIES LOST IT. REASON FOR SECRECY. (Received July 21. 9.45 p.m.) London, July 21. Mr. Hobhouse stated in the House of Commons that he was present at the recapture of Hill 60, which was a salient projecting into the German lines. Concentrated fire made it impossible for the allied troops to remain upon the hill. It was essential that the withdrawal should not be known by the Germans. Afterwards Hill 60 ceased to be of military importance. This was probably why it was not mentioned in earlier despatches to the War Office.
