The ferocity of the fighting has driven out of the minds of the soldiers all thoughts of personal safety, and the troops, living in an atmosphere of .sudden death, have lost all thought save to conquer. The losses on both sides have been enormous, but this is forgotten in the crowding of dreadful events upon each other. The fighting continues without Intermission.
