THE FRENCH ADVANCE TOWARDS LENS
THE FRENCH ADVANCE TOWARDS LENS
The advance on the Arras front began on the morning of 9 May, 1915, by a concerted action between the Tenth French Army, under General Foch, with General d'urban and General Maud'huy, and the First British Army, under Sir Douglas Haig. The movement ended in a decisive victory in "The Labyrinth," an intricate system of underground defences constructed by the Germans, on 19 June.
