A communique states:— "We added another hundred yards to our gains of Sunday eastward of Fleury. The enemy made a-power-ful attack on our positions at Chengis Wood and carried a small fort on the Vaux Road and trenches westward. A brilliant counterattack, however, enabled us to reoccupy the whole ground. Upwards of 500 unwounded prisoners were taken in the Fleury district on Sunday and Monday."
