>The attack was almost unopposed and by 7:00 a.m. the South Africans had captured the wood south of Prince's Street, despite the wreckage of fallen and uprooted trees. Tanner sent two companies to secure the northern perimeter of the wood and later, the 3rd Battalion advanced to the east and north-east. By 2:40 a.m., the wood was occupied, except for a German strong point in the north-western corner, adjoining Longueval. ⇒攻撃はほとんど反対に会わなかったので、根こそぎにされた倒木やその残骸にもかかわらず、午前7時までには、南アフリカ人軍はプリンス通りの森南部を攻略した。タナーは森の北部周辺を守るために2個中隊を送り、その後、第3大隊が東と北東へ進軍した。 午前2時40分までには、北西角のドイツ軍強化陣地を除いて、森は占領され、ロングヴァルに隣接した。 >The South Africans began to dig in around the fringe of the wood in groups, forming strong–points supported by machine-guns, in a salient and in touch with the 26th Brigade only along the south-western edge of the wood next to Longueval. The troops had spades but roots and remnants of tree trunks made it possible only to dig shallow shell scrapes before German troops counter-attacked. ⇒南アフリカ軍は、集団で森の周辺あたりで塹壕を掘り始め、ロングヴァルの隣の森の南西端のみに沿った第26旅団と接触する突出部で、機関銃隊の支援を得て強化陣地を造った。軍隊はシャベルを持っていたが、木の根や幹の残骸のせいで、ドイツ軍隊が反撃する前には浅い溝の骨格を掘ることが辛うじて可能であった。
