The Drocourt-Queant line is the hastily improvised barrier thrown up by Field Marshal Von Hindenburg to product Cambrai and Douai after the more famous line, named in honor of himself, had been smashed by the British. The bitter resistance offered by the Germans to the British advance has centered in their defense of Bullecourt, 2Vt miles west of Queant To the south the British havev forged well beyond Queant but have been forced to mark time until Bullecourt falls. Entrusted to Austrlans. The capture of the village was enf trusted to Australians and these hard! fighting colonials have almost surrounded the German stronghold so that its surrender or extinction is expected momentarily.

The crushing In of this salient will mean that the German grip on the great Lens coal region will be broken and the entire German line in northern France imperilled.
