MAJOR GENERAL LEWIS* STORV.! (Continued from page 1, column 6.) ! Nineteenth British corps on the right and the Twenty-seventh American division on the left, with the assistance of tanks and under protection of a creeping barrage. After! this division had captured the ob- j jective, the Fifth Australian division ; with its own artillery and tanks was to'pass through and exploit the sue-1 cuss to designated objective. Within the division the attack was ' made by the Sixtieth brigade with; U? fi^/v M 4 u ^ I: 1 oAi.1. > .iia i w u 1 c?,xxnt;ii ts in nxe line, i^uiu infantry on the right and the 119th I infantry on the left, each regiment; with two battalions in front l.'ne and one in support. The support battalions were given definite nioppingup missions in the Hindenburg system and tunnel and the town of Belli- j court, while the front line battalions were directed to detail certain companies for mopping up in their area. The 117th infantry was allotted the special task of following the 120th infantry across the tunnel, then to deploy, facing south at the conclu^ ? sion of the creeping barrage. During the operation of the Australian , division this regiment was to resume its movement southward in order to protect the flanks of the Australian division. It was also expected that the advance of this regiment would facilitate the crossing of the canal by the British division on the right. One company of the 120th infantry, assisted by a section of machine guns, was given the special mission of seizing and holding the southern exit of the tunnel at Riqueval. Especial stress had been laid in all orders and instructions upon the necessitv of hugging the barrage, irrespective of the section of tanks. The success of the operation was due in a large measure to the fact that these orders were strictly obeyed. The Attack of September 29th. At 5:50 a. m., September 29, the field artillery barrage fell on the barrage srat. line, remaining there fouf minutes and thereafter lifting 100 yards in four minutes. This 18\ . - v pounder field artillery barrage was further extended by the 4.2 howitzers, while the heavy artillery fired on selected targets in advance of the field artillery barrage. At the same time the massed machine guns ; / ** of the division put down a belt of Are on the main Hindenburg trench. The German barrage was not partic!fc >. niarly heavy but as it fell near our lumping off line, it*?aused a number of casualties among the support troops. ? Tne morning was foggy; this mixedv with the smoke shells of the , barrage made it extremely difficult and often impossible to see more . than a few feet in any direction. The infantry started off well from the tape but had not progressed more than a few hundred yards before they began to experience difficulty in maintaining direction and contact; and during the remainder of the ft-*?- % ' * morning the fight was carried on by more or less mixed groups which had been picked up and re-organized by energetic officers. This series of isolated fights took place along the X whole front; small groups of men acting on their initiative would clean out troublesome machine gun nests and mop up any trench encountered. On several occasions small energetic -* l groups with the assistance of a tank which they found apparently left in the obscurity, captured machine . guns and minenwerfers, which were inflicting casualties upon our troops. In general, these groups, particularly in the right sub-sector, pushed on toward their objective. Blinded Enemy Machine Guns. While the fog was a very great hindrance to the maintenance of or..... dpr and pnhooinn nn fho nUiai- hon/1 it was of great assistance in blinding , the enemy's machine guns and field , artillery. On a clear day and against a comparatively unshaken enemy be% hind broad belts of comparatively uncut wire, against nests of machine guns and minenwerfers, it is difficult to see how any troops could ever have taken the position. The 120th infantry on the right having only the enemy in their direct front to contend with, were able to make \ steady progress toward their objective. The 119th infantry on the left early encountered heavy machine gun fire from the sector to their left, N and were soon forced to form a defensive flank in that direction. A battalion of the 117th infantry was ordered to advance through the town of Bellicourt, mopping it up as they went, to the support of the left flank, which by this time was extended on a very broad front. Later in the day a battalion of the 119th infantry was \ / also sent to this flank and rendered excellent service i^ connecting the! left flank of the 119th infantry with j the right flank of the division on the ! left. It was also able to render good j service as a support to the Australian j division after the latter had passed j through. ^ On the afternoon of September 29, j (Continued on page 6. column 1.)
