Après un inventaire systématique des points d'eau, nous établissons la carte de la surface piézométrique de la nappe de la craie, et nous étudions son sens d'écoulement à partir de chaque emplacement retenu. La nappe de la craie étant peu utilisée et la distance séparant les puits filtrants et les points de prélèvement étant suffisante, nous concluons à la possibilité d'exécuter six ouvrages 4-.ur les sept proposés. 1 - INTRODUCTION 3 2 - SITUATION GEOGRAPHIQUE ET MORPHOLOGIE 4 3 - SITUATION GEOLOGIQUE 5 31 - Crétacé 5 311 » Sénonien 5 312 - Turonien 5 32 - Quaternaire 5 321 - Alluvions 5 322 - Limons 6 4 - HYDROGEOLOGIE 6 41

Wilson, PhD Date approved March 28, 2011 ii THE BRITISH AIR CAMPAIGN DURING THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME, APRIL-NOVEMBER, 1916: A PYRRHIC VICTORY ABSTRACT The Battle of the Somme was Britain’s first major offensive of the First World War. Just about every facet of the campaign has been analyzed and reexamined. However, one area of the battle that has been little explored is the second battle which took place simultaneously to the one on the ground. This second battle occurred in the skies above the Somme, where for the first time in the history of warfare a deliberate air campaign was planned and executed to support ground operations. The British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was tasked with achieving air superiority over the Somme sector before the British Fourth Army attacked to start the ground offensive.

  • 8.1.3. Historical Background August 2014 Somme Tour
    1 Barry McLoughlin Limerick Somme Tour, 25-28 August 2014 Our trip’s focus is on the activities of the battalions of The Royal Munster Fusiliers and other Irish regiments in Northern France and Belgium between 1914 and 1918. The following remarks are given according to the chronology of our visit. Peronne World War I Museum, sited in a castle, is a good place to start, an excellent collection. One of its major strong points is the depiction of the Battle of The Somme, 1 July- 15 November 1916. The battle, like many British offensives, such as at Ypres one year later, should have been called off much earlier for advances were miniscule when compared to the loss of life: 432,000 British and 335,000 German casualties (killed, wounded, missing, taken prisoner). On the very first day, 1 July, the British Army suffered 57,500 casualties, including over 19,000 fatalities. This is the highest death rate in a single day in British military history. Most of the men were killed right at the beginning, between 8 and 9am, advancing towards undestroyed German machine-gun positions. One in two of all British soldiers who fought in the Somme onslaught never fought again. The irony was, as you shall see, that the Germans vacated the general area in February-March 1917, destroying everything and leaving a lunar landscape in their wake. They then ensconced themselves behind the new fortifications of the Hindenburg Line further to the east. The broken landscape of the Somme proved a major hindrance for the German army when it broke through the British lines on 21 March 1918 - destroying Irish units of the 16th (nationalist) and 36th (loyalist) divisions in the process.

PRELIMINARIES. ROM Arras southward the Western battle- front leaves the coalpits and sour fields F of the Artois and enters the pleasant region of Picardy. The great crook of the upper Somme and the tributary vale of the Ancre intersect a rolling tableland, dotted with little towns and furrowed by a hundred shallop chalk streams. Nowhere does the land rise higher than 500 feet, but a trivial swell—such is the nature of the landscape jxfay carry the eye for thirty miles. There are few detached farms, for it is a country of peasant cultivators who cluster in villages. Not a hedge breaks the long roll of eomlands, and till the higher ground is reached the lines of tall poplars flanking the great Roman highroads are the chief landmarks. At the lift of country between Somme and Ancre copses patch tlje slopes, and the BATTLE OF THE SOMME. sometimes a church spire is seen above the trees winds iron) some woodland hamlet* The Somme faithfully in a broad valley between chalk bluffs, •dogged by a canal—a curious river which strains, “ like; the Oxus, through matted rushy isles,” and is sometimes a lake and sometimes an expanse of swamp, The Ancre is such a stream as may be found in Wiltshire, with good trout in, its pools. On a hot midsummer day the slopes are ablaze with yellow mustard, red poppies and blue cornflowers ; and to one coming from the lush flats of Flanders, or the “ black country ” of the Pas dc Calais, or the dreary levels of Champagne, or the strange melancholy Verdun hills, this land wears a habitable and cheerful air, as if remote from the oppression of war.

Claremen fought in all 13 Battles. Claremen fought in 28 of the 51 British and Commonwealth Divisions, and one of the French Divisions that fought at the Somme.
