Beaucourt is one of the last parts of the Battle of the Somme still to be covered, until now, by the splendid Battleground Europe Series. It was also one of the last actions of the Battle of the Somme, 1916. The eventual capture of Beaucourt along with Beaumont Hamel forced the Germans to retreat to their new defensive position known as the Hindenburg Line. The Battle for Beaucourt was also known as the Gough Offensive, led by General Gough, with a large proportion of the troops involved being from the Royal Naval Division. Indeed, Beaucourt is where Bernard Freyberg of that Division won his VC. Following the usual Battleground style readers are taken on a voyage of discovery through the village of Beaucourt and along the banks of the Ancre in the direction of Cambrai. Selling Points * Fills a crucial gap in the Battleground Europe coverage of the Somme area. * Experienced and respected author who is a first class exponent of Battleground formula. * Great maps and illustrations. Author Details Michael Renshaw lives on the Somme battlefields near Beaumont Hamel.
