they penetrated the British line atseveral points. A British counter-attack followed which cleared thewoods. There was deadly hand-to-hand combat after which most of theGerman troops lay dead or wounded.

An official history of WWI describes the

First Battle of Ypres

On all sides storied could be heard of terrible slaughter inflicted on the enemy. A gunner told me one Battalionof the Prussians had broken through our line and

marched straight towards our guns. Coming within onehundred yards of the battery, they had literally beenblown back from the very cannon’s mouth, leaving 500

o their dead in ghastly heaps to mark the limit of their bold advance.
