UPROOT VILLAGE
TO GET AT 0015
LONDON, Aug Si) (British Wire
less Service).—British tunks up
rooted a whole French village to stop
the lire of German machine guns from
tin* houses in the recent allied offen
sive
The French troops have been seri
ously hampered by the German ma
chine guns in or on the tops of the
houses Tanks were in the vicinity,
and a message was sent to them for
assistance These compiled, but the
German machine guns were too well
protected to be knocked out by the
fire from the tank guns. Accordingly
(lie tank commanders conferred at the
fur end of the village and decided, in
a hurried impromptu war council, to
destroy the village by sheer weight
of metal.
The tanks accordingly rammed
house after house,' bringing down the
machine guns, extricating themselves
from the ruins of one house, then pro
ceeding to the next ltt this way the
, village was captured without a single
! British casualty, and It was at once
f occupied by the French.
I In another attack a tank was set
on (ire, the officer in command was
killed, and the first driver severely
wounded, all within the German lines
The second driver extinguished the
fire, assumed command, and Inter in
the day drove back, single-handed,
preceded by about fifty Germans
whom he had captured unaided.
Another tank, temporarily knocked
out, constituted itself into a strong
point inside the German lines and held
out tor five hours until the infantry
arrived.
