GregO Posted 23 May , 2021 Share Posted 23 May , 2021 Does anyone know where to find a copy of the heavy artillery creeping barrage at Messines? There is one at McMaster Uni which chops of part of north and most of the south, the area I am interested in. The Second Army diary at AWM does not seem to include it and finding units in the British archives is a challenge because it brings up every unit in the Second Army.

AOK4 Posted 24 May , 2021 Share Posted 24 May , 2021 Hm, isn't heavy artillery supposed to be firing at fixed targets in the enemy's rear while the field artillery is firing a creeping barrage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregO Posted 24 May , 2021 Author Share Posted 24 May , 2021 Yep, looks like a standing barrage to the back of Messines as well as a creeping one. Thanks heaps, fills a gap nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
