This attack operation commenced about 8.00am, August 10th. The enemy resistance had, by this time, been greatly strengthened, particularly on the Australian Corps Front, North of the Amiens-Roys Railway. Although the 4th Canadian Divisions were able to exploit the gains of the 2nd Canadian Division to the extent of capturing Hallu, they were forced to evacuate this village, on account of its making such a pronounced salient, and by the night of August 10th, the 4th Canadian Division were holding an approximate line South to East of Chilly and line from South to Foquescourt. We also found that the 6th Canadian Infantry Brigade had made a great capture in enemy rolling stock. In fact there were three live engines on the tracks and the trucks with the enemy water tanks were appreciated by thirsty troops.
