To the northwest of Fort Vaux on
the slopes of Fumiu wood, repeated
German advances were checked by
our fire. The assaults between the
fort and the village of Damloup were
broken.
“There was ferocious fighting be
tween the garrison of Vaux Fort and
the detachment of the enemy attemp
ting to penetrate this position.
“Although the enemy used flaming
liquids, our troops prevented them
from making any progress.
“In the Vosges an attack by the en
emy at a point west of Carspach re
sulted in their becoming possessed of
three trenches. Shortly after we de
livered a counter attack and drove the
Germans out from all positions they
