In our sector all the lines had held, and we felt very proud.

But at last the Germans fell back and the line held.

The lines he had stopped to look at held his attention with a strange insistence.

For over ten days the line held every position.

His line would hold long enough for reinforcements to be brought up.

However, even if the defensive line holds, you may die in battle.

The allied forces fought hard and the line held until the evening of that day.

There did not seem to be anyone in command, but the line held.

The lines held, and much of the lost ground was retaken.

But always they were beaten back and the line held.
