Fifth Day of the Third Battle of Ypres
Saturday 4th
August 1917
Today the battlefield here at Ypres briefly sprang
back into life. The enemy made an unexpected attack on 41st Division’s
positions at the hamlet of Hollebeke and a strongpoint called Forret Farm.
However, I am pleased to report that the defenders, after being ejected,
rallied and drove the foe back to his lines again.
