Ausies had driven tho Huns from their ; trenches just beyond the Corbie woods and they had fallen back to.tbe trenonea on the hiUside. Early In April the Ausies dug support trenches beyond -VlUers- Bretonneaux. In the German push" for Amiens -tho British lino was straight ened out leaving this territory in tho hands of tho- Germans. Almost every night the Ausies are taking sections of this-German front line, once their own support trench line. . On July a few Auales crept out killed 19 Germans and took two prisoners and two machine guns. On tho following Sunday after noon an Ausie lieutenant and eight men went overtho top and bombed a ma chine gun post, killing the gun crew and destroying the gun. 'Next morning an American lieutenant asked to go along to get a UtUe experience. An Australian officer, tho American officer and a. halt dozen "Diggers" went out In broad 'day light, rushed tho trench, killed the crew of a machine gun ana brought in the gun. A small raiding party of Ausies near Corbie brought in an office (rand 19 men a few nights ago. A mile Of trench was captured one night this week. Our boys have been with the Ausies on several of their raids and they love the AusieS like brothers.
