The Germans continue to make desperate attempts to break through to Ypres, but the attacks are all repulsed by the British. The French capture the entire village of Carency and the wood to the north of it, over 1,000 prisoners being taken and the enemy losing besides hundred killed. The French also gain further ground near Neuville and capture Ablain Nazaire while the Belgians repulse an attack on the Yser.

General Botha with the South African forces occupies Windhuk, the capital of German South-West Africa.
