		The importance of this sector meant that it was particularly well defended so to support the attack two large mines were detonated on either side of La Boisselle, the Y Sap mine to the north and the Lochnager mine to the south.
		North of the road, the Tyneside Scottish had to advance up the wide killing ground of Mash Valley where no man's land was up to 750 yards wide and the advancing infantry were enfiladed from Ovillers to the north and La Boisselle to the south.
