Battle of the Somme: battle of the Ancre Heights

Part of the British plan for the battle is an attack along the River Ancre. This attack was to be launched on 25 October, but poor weather forces the date to be put back, first to 1 November, then to 5 November, before the attack is cancelled altogether.
