The first intimation the Brit-
ish forces had that an impending
battle was drawing near was
when the Germans began storm-
ing the Brtish positions with
shells falling thick and fast just
about dark last night. The furi-
ous battle continued well into the
night and at daybreak this morn
ing was renewed with increased
vigor.
The thick weather following a
storm of wind and rain interfer-
red with the British offensive. A
•strong wind carrying toward the
British trenches blew smoke fill-
ed with noxious gases loosened by
the Germans, and then under the
cover of the clouds advanced to
the positions which insured tin*
capture of the outskirts of Long-
ueval and a large part of the Del-
Till woods.
High explosive shells rained
