Day Fifty One on the Somme



Sunday 20th August 1916 From our Correspondent in the Field


Today 33rd Division again attacked one of the woods which have so sorely tried the army in this Battle of the Somme – High Wood. They succeeded in occupying a trench on the western edge of the wood which will, hopefully, be the jumping-off point for a successful attack on the wood itself at some later date.
