The enemy suspended his attacks for a few days in
Flanders and east of Amiens, and the Allies took the opportunity of improving their lines by email local enterprises. The most important of these was a French advance in the angle between the Luce and Avre, and also west of the Avre, north of Moreuil, on Thursday week. The French gained a mile on the low hills overlooking the Avre, and took six hundred and fifty prisoners. Our troops gained ground in repeated attacks east of Robecq, at the south-western corner of the enemy's new -salient in Flanders. We also strengthened our defences between Arras and Albert by capturing more of the high ground above the Ancre, -near 'Aveloy Wood, on Monday.
