Describing the action, Haig said: "Our infantry and tanks, in accordance with the program, pressed forward and captured the German second system more than a mile beyond the first.

So great was the victory the British reports did not even attempt to estimate the number of men and guns captured. The German demoralization is complete. Not only has the Ilindenburg line been penetrated and at least two of its lines completely destroyed over a wide front, but the British now directly menace the main Gei--man line communications, Douai, Cambrai and St. Quen tin.
