371:(1 July) the final bombardment began. When the infantry launched their assault at 07.30, 36th (Ulster) Division captured most of the German front and support positions without difficulty, and had advanced nearly a mile onto the ridge in the first hour, including the front part of the Schwaben Redoubt. However, St Pierre Divion had been hardly touched by the bombardment and machine guns in the village fired into the flank of the brigade trying to advance up the valley. The corps artillery plan was also too rigid: the heavy guns 'lifted' at set times from one objective to the next, and got away from some of the infantry, who received no benefit from their fire, while it hindered the successful Ulster brigade, which was ready to assault the German second line by 10.00 and had to wait under heavy fire until 10.10 for the barrage to cease. This allowed German reinforcements to arrive just in time. The division spent the rest of the day on the open plateau under heavy fire, with no support on its flanks and unable to get reinforcements or ammunition forward. German counter-attacks forced the abandonment of the redoubt that night. Over the next two days the gunners helped to collect the thousands of wounded left after the failed assault.

Then on 28 June it supported XI Corps in Operation Borderland, a limited counter-attack on La Becque and other fortified farms in front of the ForĂŞt de Nieppe, in what was described as 'a model operation' for artillery cooperation. The battery fired 376 CB rounds and also engaged several fleeting targets. After enemy CB fire came close to 32nd Siege Bty's positions during the night of 29/30 June, a retaliatory concentration was fired by every gun of the corps heavy artillery, with 62nd Siege Bty putting 30 rounds into the village of

The British batteries were badly exposed and the Germans had excellent observation posts (OPs) on the higher ground surrounding the salient. Both sides suffered heavily in the exchanges of CB fire. The heaviest artillery preparation began on 16 July. After delays caused by poor visibility, the offensive opened with the

However, taking advantage of the morning mist, the Germans had overrun the

Meanwhile the guns continued firing on either side, taking a daily toll of casualties: on 4 September 62nd Siege Bty's commander, Maj W.H. Green, was slightly wounded but remained on duty. On the night of 11/12 September the whole of 23rd HAG was shelled with
