Although their defensive positions are exposed to artillery fire on three sides, and cover is minimal due to their own previous artillery bombardment, the German forces at Verdun have voted to continue the fight rather than withdraw. The sausage grinder continues.

The garrison at Abiad was attacked by Fur forces on April 14 & 15, but no casualties have been reported to the Anglo-Egyptian DarFur expedition.

The German submarine SM U-67 reported that on April 15 a British ship attempting to sink it dropped several charges into the water which detonated at specific depths. This could, perhaps, be the new weapon that sunk her sister ship U-68 on March 22.

Finally, the Ottoman forces have evacuated Trebizond/Trabzon, and the elements of the Russian Caucasus Army occupied it April 15.
