Excerpt from With the French Eastern Army During all this time the long line from Lille to Verdun was maintained intact by our French allies against constant attacks from the German forces. The French Army have shown the greatest tenacity and endur ance and have displayed the highest fighting qualities in thus defending their position against any advance of the Germans. For although they have made notable advances at various points, they have never yielded up a yard of their country since I last addressed your lordships.
