|
The battle began on the third of July at 7.30 am with the explosion of mines dug under the German lines. The artillery had begun to pound the enemy's defensive organizations since June 25, both on the French and the British fronts. On the right a British heavy gun; on the shell one can read: FOR FRITZ! |
