September 1916: From our Correspondent in
the Field
Last night,
around 8.30 the industrious New Zealanders attacked enemy positions north-west
of Flers. This attack, without any artillery support, took the Germans
completely by surprise and they were pushed back. A resulting German counter-attack
was then thrown back.
It seems that
the Germans have abandoned the Starfish Line which gave such trouble to the
47th (1st/2nd London) and 50th (Northumbrian) Divisions. These trenches near
Martinpuich will no doubt be taken over and consolidated.
