Capture of Wurst Farm

From Warlike

Q19841049




The Capture of Wurst Farm was an attack by the British 58th Division against the German 36th Division on 20 September 1917, near Ypres, Belgium, during the Battle of the Menin Road Ridge, part of the Third Battle of Ypres. Wurst Farm was at the lower end of Gravenstafel Ridge and several British attacks in the area since 31 July had been repulsed by the Germans. The British began a desultory bombardment on 31 August and the shelling became intense from 13 September, to "soften" the German defences, except in the area of the Fifth Army, where the slow bombardment continued until 24 hours before zero hour, when a surprise hurricane bombardment was to be fired.
