	Battle of Bazentin Ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the British had breached the first line of German defences north of the Somme River, they were now faced with a complete second line of defences which extended along the ridge of high ground from near Thiepval in the north to the villages of Guillemont and Ginchy in the south.
		An attack by the 12th (Eastern) Division on Ovillers, north of the Albert-Bapaume road, was a failure.
		On their right was the 7th Division which, having been faced with over 1,000 yards (900 m) of no man's land to cross, had crept its assaulting battalions within 100 yards (90 m) of the German wire when the bombardment lifted.

		September was one of the days of greatest progress for the allies and the British began the third phrase of the battle by advancing on a six mile front to a depth of 2000 to 3,000 yards.

		Field Marshal Montgomery, commanding the 21st Army Group, of which the 2nd British Army was a part, felt that with Oberbefelshaber West in such disarray, priority of supplies should be given to a single army to enact a plan that would deal the enemy a decisive blow and quickly end the War.
		It was estimated that the first British tanks would reinforce the 101st Airborne Division after only a few hours, whilst the 82nd Airborne would have to hold their objectives for a day or possibly two before help arrived.
