The moral of this is that we must keep pushing
on and claiming the advantage due to superiority in numbers, in moral, and in munitions, for all three belong to us now. At the moment of writing Mametz and Tames Wood form the vantage-ground of the battle. At one time in both these places we temporarily lost ground, but the latest despatches from our headquarters show that we have made good again, and that now we are in all probe.- bility established so firmly as to be able to resist any German counter-attack, however fierce. In the same way, our hold upon Contahnaison is made good. Meanwhile the French get nearer and nearer to Peronne, and we may well hope that by next week we shall be able to chronicle its possession by our Allies.
