The Australians at Morlancourt Hit Back CHAPTER I11 THE AUSTRALIANS AT MORLANCOURT HIT BACK IN the valley of the Ancre, around the village of Ville, peaceful penetration presently led to formal operations punctuating the prevailing quiet on the Western Front. The Ancre, a small brimming stream, about twenty feet wide, flows here through meadows deep in rich grass around the foot of the bare Lavi6vllle promontory, skirting sometimes the foot of the hills that screen hlorlancourt, sometimes the bottom of the opposing LaviCville slope around wliich, with a long northward curve, runs the railway to Albert. Thus the flats, some half-mile wide, lie at one part on the northern, at another on the southern, side of the stream. Dernancourt village, then three-quarters of a mile behind the German line, is on the northern side. Ville, a mile farther down the stream, just before it :> ran into the Australian line at Buire, was then also German. It lay near the southern bank, on a low semi-circular shelf of the flats which raised it conveniently above the lower level of marshy ground and water Its houses were still standing, though many were holed by shells; and the tall trees, which stood thickly in long rows radiating curiously from the north- west corner of the village, hid most of the houses behind them although these were barely 600 yards from the nearest Aus- tralian posts. Brimming ditches, and numerous expanses of shallow water where the peat had been dug, made the flats 61 62 THE A.I.F. IN FRANCE [Apr., 1918 dificult to cross without wide d6tours. The Germans, to give access to their foothold west of the stream between Ville and Albert, had placed sixty-three footbridges and about a dozen traffic bridges across that section of it, besides the regular bridges at Dernancourt, Vivier Mill, and -qIbert. hlorlancourt lay a mile south of the Ancre. hidden in a deep pan in the high tongue between that river and the Soinme, its valley communi- cating (as if by the handle of the pan) with the -4iicre just behind Ville. The line of the 3rd Australian Division across the peninsula between Somme and Ancre-a front of 7,000 yards-had been practically unchanged since General Monash carried out his rather expensive advance on March 28th arid the Germans their much more costly attack above Sailly-Laurette on the 30th. During the whole of April Monash’s left brigade, the 10th (Brig.-Genl. McNicoll), held the flats between Ville and Buire and the bare slope of the ridge that rose south of them; and while the patrols of the 11th Brigade (Cannan), on the summit and slopes of this peninsula, were making the series of success- ful excursions recorded in the last chapter, the 10th also was ordered to secure the necessary identification. From the 40th Battalion, in front of Buire, several officers’ patrols went out on the night of April 18th to find a German post suit- able for raiding. Lieut. ’: -+ Stebbins,l working for 1,000 yards along the Lgui southern edge of the flats, +-.-- found one on the side of a sunken road (afterwards known, from its shape on the map, as the “Little Caterpillar”) leading down 1 20?” Yards to Ville. As he and his men or some other party would otherwise almost certainly have to raid next day, Stebbins decided to seize the post there and then. He was about to do so when behind him there passed a 1 Lt. S. G. Stebbins, h1.C.; 40th Bn. Grocer, of Zeehan, Tas.; b. Ulverstone, Tan..

He decided to attack it, and, with his sergeant, A. H. Richards,2 was leading the approach, when the Germans called “Hands up.” Stehbins shot one, Richards another ; Pte. Brilliant3 bayoneted two-in all two were killed and three badly wounded. One of the dead men was then carried back to the Australian lines, and proved to belong to the 231st R.I.R. (50th Reserve Division). There is no reference to this raid in the available German records. On the other hand the history of the 247th R.I.R., which then held the line in front of Ville, immediately north of this slope, tells of a German raid undertaken about this time while the Germans were attempting to locate the Australian posts in the Ancre valley. One was found near a derelict British tank beside the road to Treux. “The following night the 5 keen Company Sergeant-Major Rohner tried to cut it out. He annihilated the pcst with hand-grenades,” says the account, “but could not take any ‘Englishman’ prisoner.” (The patrol’s report as to annihilation was inaccurate, for the incident is not mentioned. as it certainly would have been, in the 10th Bde.’s records ) The Germans at Ville were occupying a pronounced salient. In froiit of Aniiens the great German thrust had left, not a clean-cut wedge in the Allies’ line, but a series of protruding steps, at Ville, Hamel, Cachy, and again south of the Luce. Had it not been for the trees that screened it, the Ville salient would have been ~ most uncomfortable for the Germans to hold. As it was, they had so ~. far remained in coni- parative peace escept for the nightly bombings and the harass- ing shell-fire. On April 22nd the 5th and 3rd Australian Divisions extended their flanks northwards across the Somme and Ancre respec- ‘Sgt. A. H. Richards. hl hl (No. 1964, 40th Bn.).

As part of this change, on ,4pril 23rd the 10th Brigade took over the protruding sector north of the river and railway, previously held by part of the 7th Brigade (2nd Division). The leaders of the 10th Brigade, now controlling both sides of the stream, at once began to see what advantages could be obtained by working along it. In the small hours of April 25th Capt. Fairweather, a famous raider, and a patrol of twelve men of the 3Sth Battalion saw in the moonlight Germans entering and leaving a hut far out along the northern bank. Apparently they reached it by a footbridge. Fairweather had f crept to within fifty yards, and was about to raid the place, when other Germans arrived, and from a trench in front of the hut flares shot up and bombs were thrown. A German patrol was also seen moving north of the place. Fairweather con- cluded that it was too strong for his party to attack, and with- drew the patrol. But action here was overdue. The line of the 10th Brigade south of the Ancre, was nearly a mile farther back than that north of it, and was also somewhat behind the alignment of the posts farther ~0~1th.~Lieut.-Col. A. R. Woolcock of the 32nd (Q'land) Battalion, 11th Brigade, on the right asked that the 10th Brigade's posts in the Ancre valley should be advanced- in front of Treux the enemy posts were 1,000 yards away. Brig.-Genl. hIcNicoll at once agreed. It was planned that the hut north of the river should be attacked that night, April Ath, by a larger party, and on following nights the brigade would successively advance, first its posts north of the river, and next those south of it. 'On the night of April 27 the 41st Bn. (11th Bde) on the summit had renewed its capture of prisoners by raiding a listening pvst immediately in front of the German line north of the Bray-Corbie road. There was a bright moon, and the artillery fire covering the raid alarmed the enemy posts, which were very active, but. in the face of bombs and machine-gun fire from the line beyond, the post was rushed. A German was killed, and another (of the 229th R.1 R.. 50th Res. Div.) captured Of 17 Queenslanders one was killed and two wounded They were led by Lt. S. L. Robinson (to be distinguished from Lt. G. S. H. Robinson of the name battalion, who was killed three days earlier in the shelling that accompanied the enemy's attack on Villers-Bretonneux). This prisoner, and others at this time, spoke of the presence of German tanks in the neighbourhood of blorlancourt. z8th-3oth Apr., 19x81 MORLANCOURT 65 The raid on the hut was made by two parties each of seventeen men of the 40th Battalion6 under Lieuts. Cranswick and A. P. Brown respectively. These crawled out and lay up fifty yards on either flank of the post. On a signal from Cranswick ten grenadiers each fired one bomb into the enemy and each Lewis gunner rattled off a drum of ammunition. Both parties then charged. They found hut and trench empty, but in the scooped-out shelters, in which candles were still burn- r‘ ing, one German was captured. Others were found, but it was reported that they tried to escape and were therefore shot.

Throughout the text, John Bilcliffe used a set of alpha-numeric codes to abbreviate cemetery names. In Part 4 each soldier’s name is followed by a Cemetery Code and, where known, the Grave Reference, as identified by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Brigadier-General Cannan, who was visited during :he niorning by his divisional commander, General Motlash, obtained from him the impression that this advance \vas intended rather as a demonstration-to itnpress the Germans with the fact that their progress in that sector was at an end.
