Romanian forces at Marasti continue their rapid advance, which is on pace to become the largest offensive rate of advance for the Allied powers in the entire war – nearly 3km per day across a 35km front.

On July 29, 3,000 German defenders at the Kiawe bridge, in German East Africa, were attacked by a 4,000-strong British force. After intense fighting, in which 122 British soldiers and 500 Germans were killed, the remaining German force surrendered, and the British have captured the bridge.
