Aubers Ridge Blockhouses, Aubers France - December 2018

Full photo gallery online here.

Aubers Ridge Blockhouses

Following their September 1914 defeat at the Battle of the Marne (see Prologue Part 7) the German army retreated north for a week before stopping, digging in and fighting back against Allied forces. The French and British dug in as well and this line quickly became the Western Front. One of the locations along this front was Aubers Ridge, which links the French towns of Le Maisnil, Fromelles, Aubers and Lillies. At 130 feet above sea level the German defenses along Aubers Ridge served as a strategic advantage over the Allies with some particularly bloody battles taking place at the Battle of Aubers Ridge in May 1915 and the Battle of Fromelles in July 1916.

During the winter of 1916-17 German forces built additional fortifications just north of the front lines and, once completed, fell back to the reinforced defenses of the Hindenburg Line, smashing and burning everything along the way. The blockhouses along Aubers Ridge still stand today as a reminder of the obstacle that the Allies would have to try and overcome in the spring of 1917.

There are lots of structures around Europe that are considerably older than 100 years. But the fact that these concrete bunkers were never torn down, and still sit along the roadways and in the middle of farmer’s fields grown over with shrubs and trees, was something I found amazing. It was a very early morning that I drove along the quiet roads along Aubers Ridge stopping at the blockhouses accessible along the side of the road or looking over the fields at structures off in the distance.

  [i] This entry is at odds with that of the 4th Canadian Infantry Brigade War Diary. It states: “Musketry on Range, MAISNIL BOUCHE by 18th Battalion all day.”

[ii] This sentence is interesting as it delineates two difference roles. I suspect a bomber is a soldier assigned to use rifle-grenades and a grenadier is a specialist who used hand-grenades.

[iii] Royal Engineers.

[iv] Canadian Army Engineers.

[v] Note that this trench name references a popular female silent film star.

[vi] These medals were for enlisted men. It is too bad the war diary did not include their names and regimental numbers.
