HistoryTo the south reconnoissances or scouting movements of the enemy were repulsed at Soyecourt, Vermandovillers, and Lihons-en-Santerre, then once more, on July 29 and 31, at Lihons. On July 30 we resumed the offensive to the north, in conjunction with the Eng- lish. It will be remembered that we had there occupied a line formed by the railroad which follows the hollow of the dry ravine at Combles, beginning at 139- Meter Hill, a kilometer (1,086 yards) from Hardecourt,. And reaching to the Somme. At the level of Hem our front left the ravine to go direct to this vi lage, before which we held the Monacu Farm. prev next |
