Third Battery Move.

140 Siege Battery RGA.  26th March 1917.

The battery now moves to Beugnatre.  North west of Bapaume.  A move made during two nights of about 5 miles.


They were now back in range of the Germans and start firing again in support of the Australian attack on Lagnicourt.  They had not fired for over a week.

The ruins of the Lagnicourt Church, showing the extensive shell damage the building sustained. Australian troops fought many desperate engagements with German forces around this area. (AWM E04580).
