Synopsis
This book describes the action of 9 May 1915 when the battalions of the 1st Division, 7th Division and the Indian Army attacked Aubers Ridge. Their objective was to break the German line and cut the supply route to the enemy troops fighting to the south against a French Offensive at Vimy Ridge In true Battleground style, the dramatic story is told through the actions of those involved in the fighting. Places and points of interest are highlighted and for those fortunate enough to visit the area there are excellent directions and hints on how to best capture the atmosphere.
Customer Reviews
Aubers Ridge, Edward Hancock
The Battle of Aubers Ridge usually get the odd paragraph in any history of the First World War, if it gets mentioned at all. This book has a detailed account of the battle and the exploits and fortunes of all the units that took part in this tragic episode. The later part of the book gives a detailed tour of the battle field today. My interest in the battle is that I recently discovered that a Great Uncle of mine was killed there with the 2nd Bn Royal Sussex Regiment.
