THE Morning Post correspondent on the British Front,writing on May 21st, said :—" You cannot realise the terrible effect of modern artillery fire concentrated on a narrow frontunless you have seen photographs of this bit of the Hinden- burg line, showing it as it existed before our bombardmentand as it is to-day. As pictured from an aeroplane it looked like a beautifully neat and immaculate model worked in wet•clay, with every traverse mathematically exact, and every elaborate detail shown in bold relief. Then the guns wereturned on it. A few days later the outline showed blurred and broken—you could still follow the angle of the front lineon the ground, but that was all. The last photograph shows nothing but a patch of mottled ground without the faintesttrace of trench or traverse, or any mark that might have beenjmade by the hand of man. There is a faint smudge in one corner that experts could identify as the support line,but of the Hindenburg front barrier there is nothing, abso- lutely nothing. An Aerial "Barrage." RATHER a pretty aerial spectacle was to be witnessednear Gavrelle yesterday, wrote Reuter's correspondent on Monday. One of our aeroplanes had been swooped upon bynine German planes. The British machine got ahead of its pursuers, but this advantage could be maintained only for ashort time. A couple of our anti-aircraft batteries thereupon put up a barrage as close as was safe in the wake of the chasedplane and followed it along. The effect was very striking, and when one of the enemy machines was seen to nosediveand then spiral rapidly towards the ground a confused, far- flung cheer was borne upon the breeze. After this the Hunsabandoned the pursuit and our machine landed safely. 499
