The Battle of Ginchy took place on 9 September 1916 during the Battle of the Somme, when the 16th (Irish) Division captured the German-held village. Ginchy is 0.93 mi (1.5 km) north-east of Guillemont, at the junction of six roads, on a rise overlooking Combles, 2.5 mi (4 km) to the south-east. After the conclusion of the Battle of Guillemont on 6 September, XIV Corps and XV Corps were required to complete the advance to positions which would give observation over the German third position, to be ready for a general attack in mid-September, for which the Anglo-French armies had been preparing since early August.

  • The Battle of Ginchy took place on 9 September 1916 during the Battle of the Somme, when the 16th (Irish) Division captured the German-held village. Ginchy is 0.93 mi (1.5 km) north-east of Guillemont, at the junction of six roads, on a rise overlooking Combles, 2.5 mi (4 km) to the south-east. After the conclusion of the Battle of Guillemont on 6 September, XIV Corps and XV Corps were required to complete the advance to positions which would give observation over the German third position, to be ready for a general attack in mid-September, for which the Anglo-French armies had been preparing since early August. British attacks northwards from the boundary between the Fourth Army and the French Sixth Army, from Leuze Wood north to Ginchy, had begun on 3 September when the 7th Division captured the village, before being forced out by a German counter-attack. Attacks on Leuze Wood and attempts to re-take Ginchy on 4 and 5 September were also defeated by German counter-attacks. The 7th Division was relieved by the 16th (Irish) Division and 55th (West Lancashire) Division on the evening of 7 September and the 5th Division was replaced by the 56th (1/1st London) Division on the right at the army boundary. On 9 September the British began a bombardment early in the morning but waited until late afternoon to advance, to deny the Germans time to counter-attack before dark. The British assault in the south by the 56th (1/1st London) Division and the 16th (Irish) Division reached Bouleaux Wood but the attack in the centre was repulsed. On the northern flank, Ginchy was captured by the 16th (Irish) Division and several German counter-attacks were defeated. The loss of Ginchy deprived the Germans of observation posts from which they could observe the battlefield. The success eliminated the salient at Delville Wood, which had been costly to defend, due to observed German artillery-fire from three sides and the many counter-attacks by German infantry in July and August; the attack on 31 August, being the largest mounted by the Germans against the British during the battle. The success of the attack by the French Sixth Army on 12 September, in its biggest operation of the battle and the advance of the right flank of the British Fourth Army from 3 to 9 September, enabled both armies to make much bigger attacks. The assaults were sequenced with attacks by the Tenth and Reserve armies in September, which captured much more ground and inflicted approximately 130,000 casualties on the German defenders. Anglo-French attempts to co-ordinate their attacks had failed from July to early September, due to a combination of disagreements between Haig, Joffre and Foch over tactics, supply difficulties, devastated terrain, inclement weather and the increasing defensive power of the German armies. In September, the Allies managed to co-ordinate their attacks; advances on each army front made adjacent German positions vulnerable, which were attacked promptly by the neighbouring army before the Germans recovered from their disorganisation.

La capture le village tenu par les Allemands. Ginchy est situé à 1,5 kilomètre (0,93 mile) au nord-est de Guillemont, au carrefour de six routes sur un plateau dominant Combles à 4 kilomètres (2,5 miles) au sud-est du village de Ginchy. Après la du 6 septembre, les et 15e corps d'armée britannique entrent en ligne pour poursuivre la progression et la capture de points d'observation. Ces captures sont nécessaires pour la préparation de l'attaque générale alliée, prévue depuis le mois d'août, de la troisième position allemande qui doit être déclenchée à la mi-septembre. Les attaques britanniques à la jonction de la 4e armée britannique et de la 6e armée française sur le bois de Leuze au nord de Ginchy commencent le 3 septembre. La 7e division capture le village, mais une contre-attaque allemande reprend Guinchy. Les attaques sur le bois de Leuze et les tentatives de reprise de Ginchy les 4 et 5 septembre sont repoussées par des contre-attaques allemandes. La 7e division est relevée par les et 16e divisions. Le 7 septembre au soir, la 5e division est remplacée par la 56e division sur l'aile droite du dispositif britannique. Le 9 septembre les Britanniques commencent le bombardement dès l'aube, l'attaque n'est cependant déclenchée qu'à la fin de l'après-midi pour éviter des contre-attaques allemandes avant la tombée de la nuit. L'assaut britannique de la 16e et de la 56e division au sud atteint le bois Bouleaux bois mais l'attaque au centre du dispositif est repoussée. Sur le flanc nord, Ginchy est capturé par la 16e division et les contre-attaques allemandes sont repoussées. La perte de Ginchy prive les Allemands de postes d'observation d'où ils pouvaient observer la totalité du champ de bataille et permet d'éliminer le saillant du bois Delville, la partie la plus disputée de champ de bataille de la Somme au cours des mois de juillet et d'août. Le succès de la 6e armée française le 12 septembre, lors de sa plus grande attaque de la bataille et l'avance de l'aile droite de la 4e armée britannique entre le 3 et le 9 septembre, ont permis aux deux armées de procéder à plusieurs attaques en lien avec la 10e armée française et l'armée de réserve britannique en septembre. Ces attaques entraînent la capture d'un terrain important et infligent environ 130 000 pertes aux armées allemandes. (fr)

  • La battaglia di Ginchy ebbe luogo il 9 settembre 1916 e fu combattuta durante la battaglia della Somme. Il combattimento vide la 16th (Irish) Division occupare il villaggio di Ginchy, fino a quel momento in mano tedesca. Negli scontri per la conquista del villaggio i Royal Munster Fusiliers subirono perdite molto pesanti. Infatti, una delle due brigate cui fu ordinato di attaccare Ginchy, la 47th Brigade, non raggiunse nessuno dei suoi obbiettivi poiché trovò le difese tedesche assolutamente non intaccate dal fuoco della propria artiglieria, i cui colpi erano caduti nella "terra di nessuno". I sette battaglioni irlandesi che inizialmente furono coinvolti nell'attacco persero in totale otto ufficiali e 220 uomini furono uccisi: di questi, sei ufficiali e 69 uomini appartenevano al 9th Battalion dei . Nell'ambito dell'intera battaglia della Somme, l'attacco fu un successo, essendo il villaggio stato conquistato al primo tentativo. Gli Irlandesi conquistarono il villaggio, che era anche ben fortificato, in un'ora circa. Un quotidiano londinese titolò: "Come gli Irlandesi hanno preso Glichy - La splendida audacia delle truppe irlandesi". La perdita di Ginchy privò i Tedeschi di alcuni punti di osservazioni strategici che dominavano su tutto campo di battaglia. (it)
