The position became untenable, and had to be evacuated. The retirement from the height was the signal for a fierce attack by the Hanoverians and the Prussian Guard, heralded and supported by a storm of artillery fire beating down from the heights on the villages of the lower ground. The Morocco men were driven back to the crossings of the marshes, and forced to retire along the narrow causeways, suffering heavily from a deadly fire of shrapnel and high explosives. North of the east end of the m...arsh, a regiment of the Ninth Corps held on steadily to Aulnay and the neighbouring ground; and a brigade of the same corps stopped the rush of the guardsmen at Morains le Petit on the Fere Cham- penoise road. At the other end of the marshes, the Hanoverians retook the bridge of St. Prix, and captured the bold hill up which the road zigzags beyond it — the Signal du Poirier. Most of the ground gained in the morning towards Charleville had to be abandoned. Grosetti held on, however, along the Suzanne road, with- out losing touch with D'Esperey's Tenth Corps on his flank.
