Thats a sweet map of how far the french retreated, the British the North in Brelgium, Arras was the furthest extent of their line. if you look carefully you can see Passchendale and Ypres. The French held the south and were pushed back to Soissons and Rhiems, Rhiems was defended by the fort of Verdun, you may have heard of it, it was were the French were bled dry in 1917, caused their army to mutiny and effectively ended any further offensive efforts from them.
