Battle of Verdun

Germans capture Hill 344, the Bois de Caures and the village of Ornes. General Herr recommends an evacuation of the right bank of the Meuse. General Langle de Cary, commander of Army Group Centre, supports the suggestion. Joffre orders that any officer who orders a retreat will be court martialed.
