Description
A file of the 56th Battalion in process of transfer to the northern side of the Somme near Clery-sur-Somme. While maintaining the attempts to cross the Somme marshes, General Monash transferred the 2nd Division and 14th Brigade to the north of the Somme, and on this day launched the 5th Brigade (2nd Division) in a successful attack upon Mont St Quentin, the hill dominating Peronne. On the following day the 14th Brigade seized part of Peronne.
