Monday 29 April 1918 – Operation Georgette Halted

GeorgetteOperation Georgette comes to a halt.  Around Merville, though, where Greg would be operating, there had not in fact been much movement in the German advance for a couple of weeks. 

On the Lys, German front line passed between Merville and St Venant, not far from the settlement of St Floris.
