French semi-official report states: The Germans were stunned •at the rapidity of the French advance north of the Somme, and took some days to recover. Then they decided they must counter-attack, but only succeeded in making a fresh show of impatience to retake the lost ground. Fifty thousand wore employed in wild-bear assaults, which were of the most powerful description. The fighting at Priez Farm was especially violent. Here, on four, occasions, the attacking masses from Combles in close formation were literally pounded to atoms. The samfe thing occurred at another village.
