A renewed Entente attack on the Bulgarian lines at Salonika met with failure on May 8. British soldiers crept into no-man’s land for a night attack, but the Bulgarians used search-lights to illuminate them as targets. Artillery smashed in the assault. On a two-mile front, the British only gained 500 yards.
