The Allied front line moved forward again, to complete the investment
of Combles.
Rancourt and Frégicourt fell on the 25th, in the French attack; Morval
was captured by the British.
The encirclement of Combles was complete, and the enemy had already
partially evacuated the place. On the 26th, the British entered the
fortress from the north, the French from the south, and captured a
company of laggards.
