The injury done to the park of Drancy by the precision of the aim of our artillery at Fort Nogent was repaired; cannon were brought to the trenches which the day before we had occupied at Ville Evrart; and, as well as it was possible, twelve new batteries, armed with cannon of long range, were unmasked.

All through the 28th the fire continued; shells fell thickly on our batteries, and in the village of Rosny.

The roof of the station was knocked in, and several Mobiles were killed in the main street.

The evacuation of the church, which had been converted into an ambulance, was thought advisable.

All this, however, was nothing in comparison with the fire which was poured in during the night.
