German troops manning the defenses at Garua. From Wikipedia.

The past week has been relatively quiet, although fighting continues on the Western front around Artois, as well as the Eastern at Konary. June 9 saw the natives at Garua, in German Kamerun, begin to mutiny and refuse to man the defenses. The naval guns appear to have weakened the defender’s resolve; at 4pm the following day the Germans surrendered the bounty of supplies and weapons, as the siege had been expected to last much longer than two weeks. Also on the 9th, the Entente continued their shellings of the Austro-Hungarian coast.

June 13 saw the Russians finally reach their initial front line from fall of last year, before the Turkish offensive.
