Desmond7 Posted 27 February , 2006 Share Posted 27 February , 2006 This may help. There is a view FROM the Feste Staufen in The Panormas of WW1 Battlefields book .. taken later in 1916 and looking towards Grandcourt direction. Hope someone can help with decent pics .. I'd like to see some too. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 27 February , 2006 Share Posted 27 February , 2006 If you are referring to the Ulster Div attack ... they did make a small penetration but were forced to retreat after a relatively short time doe to determined German counter attacks. It was long stated that the Ulstermen's momentum was halted in front of Stuff Redoubt when they ran into their own barrage. It was pointed out to me by RJ Whitehead some time ago that the Ulstermen were, in fact, stopped by heavy fire from a German artillery unit.
