they enfiladed each other and were so strong that only a direct hit by one of the heavier shells was able to damage them, and such a direct hit is most difficult on a small mark like a concrete house, holding, at most, 50 men. These little garrisons were mostly machine-gunners and picked men especially trained for outpost work and were able severely to damage an advancing battalion so that the forward lince passing through and beyond them would be spent and weak when exposed to the attack of the stoustruppen specially trained in counter-attacking and held in reserve.
These hard nuts have now been cracked by a new method of assault planned with great forethought, with the result that the British have cou quered, the high ground which the Germans regarded as supreme from
