Battle of Neuve Chapel March 1915.
A 40 minute British Artillery bombardment by 480 guns opened the attack on the French Village of Neuve Chappell held by the
Germans since October 1914. The British attack was an initial
success taking 4 enemy trench lines and the village itself. but due to the
British reserves arriving in time to make the most of their success, the
Germans reformed in the new positions, and the Battle ground to a halt,
with the British digging in on their new advanced line. This was an
inconclusive battle.
