The French overall plan of attack for the battle, although fought over some of the same area as the Nivelle Offensive, this time called for limited and more reasonable objectives. The 140th Regiment was assigned to attack St. Guillain wood and farm. Their advance, however, came to a dead stop by machine gun fire from German bunkers positioned along the German front trench line. French tanks were called forward and quickly knocked out the machine gun positions. The advance then continued and the wood, farm and both Giraffe and Lizard trenches were occupied before a noon rainstorm.
The 21st and 20th Chasseur Battalions of XXI Corps met little opposition as they advanced. Vaurains Farm was captured with tank support and the eastern end of Lizard and Lady trenches were occupied by early morning. Once the 31st Chasseur Battalion stormed and took Malmaison Farm, the French were in firm control of the sector.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
