We replayed the Battle of Matz at the Joy of Six show held in Sheffield: link I have included some quotes from German regimental histories. The AAR write-up isn't complete yet but, given that I am travelling at the moment, I thought it might be interesting to share the work in progress. Robert |

Sorry, should have been 11 June 1918, not 10th. Robert |

Two more pages have been added to the AAR: link features a German sketch map from the history of IR143. It shows the dispositions of the German infantry companies from the regiment, as well as the lines of attack for the French tanks. link shows the attack plan for French 129th Infantry Division. It illustrates the jump-off points for the various battalions and the objectives, which included Méry and the line of German defenders between Méry and Courcelles. Robert |
