This book describes the action of 9 May 1915 when the battalions of the 1st Division, 7th Division and the Indian Army attacked Aubers Ridge. Their objective was to break the German line and cut the supply route to the enemy troops fighting to the south against a French Offensive at Vimy Ridge.In true Battleground style, the dramatic story is told through the actions of those involved in the fighting. Places and points of interest are highlighted and for those fortunate enough to visit the area there are excellent directions and hints on how to best capture the atmosphere.

WW1 Forgotten Battle

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2012

After a long search for information on the WW1 Battle at Aubers Ridge, I was so please to find this work. My great uncle, who was a Royal Munster Fusilier, was lost at Aubers Ridge and remains, as with thousands of others, in an un-marked resting place on this battlefield. Until I found this work by Edward Hancock, I had great difficulty obtaining information regarding Aubers Ridge and the battle that ensued that fateful day of May 9th,1915. If you, like I, had relatives who were involved in this action or, just want an informative and concise account of this WW1 Battle then, I recommend this work. The book is well laid out with clear and well printed photographs, illustrations and maps. It is easy to read with concise information and, as with all good works, it contains excellent Appendix, Bibliography and indexes. If you want to learn more of the tradgedy that took place at Aubers Ridge on the 9th May 1915 then, I strongly recommend this book.

A super background to this less well-known battle of May 1915. I'm planning a trip to the site 100 years to the day my great uncle was killed at this battle as a member of 1st Battalion Royal Irish Rifles and this book has been a great help.
