Following a short artillery barrage, British troops rush the German entrenchments stretched across the street in the French village of Heudicourt. Following severe hand-to-hand fighting, the British force prevailed and the village was taken. It was subsequently re-taken by German forces in March 1918 and returned to Allied possession in September 1918
