		According to the divisional historian, at Cambrai, the "swift and successful operation by 16th Division was a model of attack with a limited objective."

		Unfortunately, 3rd Division had failed in its attempt to capture the trench network immediately to the right of 16th Division, and the flank of the Connaught Rangers was thus exposed to a savage counterattack.
