On the extreme right, the British, in _liaison_ with the French,
reached the southern edges of Trônes Wood, and came into contact with
the second German positions. Over 6,000 prisoners were taken. The
Germane launched incessant counter-attacks without result.
In the diversion sector, north of the Ancre, the initial successes at
Gommécourt, Serre and on the Ancre could not be followed up.
The Germans continued to hold Beaumont-Hamel and Thiepval in force.
