BATTLE OF AUBERS RIDGE

The Battle of Aubers Ridge was an abortive British attack on German lines in May 1915 during the Great War in support of, and diversionary to, the French attack on Lens in the Battle of Artois. No gains were made and both sides sustained heavy casualties - the Allies lost over 6,000 killed and wounded, while German casualties were just over half that number.
