Not the least remarkable thing about our success has been the way in which our guns have followed up the infantry, so that to-day our new front, being slightly shorter, is covered by an even greater weight of artillery than was our front before the battle began.

In addition the casualties caused by our gunfire, by mines, and in the attack were tremendous. So it is evident that the front trenches cannot have been precisely empty.
