Bourlon village is a mass of concrete and steel with tre- mendously strong trench systems at the western 'end which have been there since 1916, but were always kept in shape.

North of it is a wrecked chateau which was once German headquar- ters and which has elaborate under- ground tunnels running back into the town itself. The Cambrai railway at this end of the village runs through a deep cutting another obstacle to uneven ground, at least eighty feet déep and about a hundred feet across.

When we held this section a a The Canadians have overcome all these obstacles the line now shows and Bourlon is added to their laurels, It is quite as big an achievement 'as their other great successes in these happy days, attacking infantry.
