British Division Heroic Stand Near Bapaume in March
Chronically described is a six day clash on the Beaumont Hamel line where the List Division and Highland Territorial units withstood German pressure near Doignies and EMIICOURT. A downed German balloon carried a morale message “old List division, sticking to it yet. Cheer up.” The fight included heavy shelling, counter attacks with infantry and tanks, and a last stand before a cautious withdrawal to fortify further west as the German advance pressed along the line.
