Location France, Bois D' Eclisse
Entry At dawn the enemy bombarded heavily with gas and HE shell, but all attempts upon the part of his infantry to attack were smothered by our artillery. On the right the enemy captured MONT de BLIGNY and BLIGNY village but the situation was restored by counter attacks and the line was completely restored by dusk.
