We hold positions in the villages ; of Contad Maison and Mametz, and are attacking Beaumonthamel # six miles north of Albert. We captured La Boiselle, two miles northward of Albert. Many were prisonered. The front lines of the AngloFiench, fighting with great gallantry, covered 1 % miles beyond the German front line, rapidly occupying the village of Curlu on the Somme, and Faviere Wood.
