This time, however, the Germans were not caught napping. They anticipated the second attack by the British, and a terrific hail of shells and bullets greeted the Allied troops, as they moved across the open ground. But these men were not raw troops. Hardly a man who could not be called a veteran. They advanced as calmly under fire as though on parade.
