HAIG'S WAR DIARIES
PART IN BATTLE OF MARNE ENEMY IN FULL, RETREAT / ....... u 1 . , [Copyright to the New Zealand Herald] Using copious extracts from Haig's diaries, Mr. Duff Cooper relates in to-day's instilment the successful part played by the First British Corps when the Allies faced about and drove the Germanw back over the Marne River, south-east of Paris. Haig's troops met with surprisingly little resistance and their losses were small, chiefly inflicted by the skill and resolution of the German machino-ijunners. Haig's opinion at the time, subsequently confirmed, was that the Allies could have exploited their success to inflict a staggering blow on the Germans.
