With no special
day reported,
The Western Front had spent
Another day of
the working line.
Across punctuated
parts of front
Line, within
Somme area, artillery
Were active at
Maricourt commune.
Elsewhere in Pas
de Calais region,
Monchy took a
heavy bombardment -
German raids made trench casualties.
Meanwhile, two
enemy mines
Were blown at
Neuville - by reply
A successful allied raid
was made.
Though casualties were caused,
German dugouts
were bombed -
At Hooge, a
British mine exploded.
This mine was
seen as success
To damage German
underground
Works; with
intense equal shelling.
With British reserve, the overall
Report played down
German effect,
To emphasis
allied British success.
4 May 1916 was nothing
special,
With activity of
artillery particularly
Effective at both Augres and Pilken.
