| Details |
Second Battle of Flanders: Troops in the front are capturing positions and beating off counter attacks night and day. While the temporary lulls of infantry fighting between each thrust forward, soldiers are busy building roads with picks and shovels regardless of the weather. The formation of durable traffic of pack-horses laden with shells in saddle-pockets are seen on a road leading right up to the batteries.
