Friday 25th
August 1916 From our Correspondent in the
Field
We understand that the French attack yesterday finally saw them recapture the village of Maurepas, south-east of Guillemont. Meanwhile the German attack on the 23rd/24th August has meant that the British Army continues to consolidate and plan its next move
The adjutant
of 1st Bedfords has wired me to say that his unit is back on the Somme. They
are currently occupying a sandpit south-east of the village of Méaulte, a few
miles behind the lines.
14th (Light)
Division made an attack in Delville Wood early this morning. It is reported
that they have pushed the enemy from a section of trench on the eastern edge of
the wood.
