  • The Battle of Morval, 25–28 September 1916, was an attack during the Battle of the Somme by the British Fourth Army on the villages of Morval, Gueudecourt and Lesbœufs held by the German 1st Army, which had been the final objectives of the Battle of Flers–Courcelette (15–22 September). The main British attack was postponed to combine with attacks by the French Sixth Army on the village of Combles south of Morval. The attack was to close up to the German defences between Moislains and Le Transloy, near the Péronne–Bapaume road (N 17). The combined attack from the Somme river northwards to Martinpuich on the Albert–Bapaume road, was also intended to deprive the German defenders further west near Thiepval of reinforcements, before an attack by the Reserve Army, due on 26 September. The postponement was extended from 21 to 25 September because of rain, which affected operations more frequently during September. Combles, Morval, Lesbœufs and Gueudecourt were captured and many casualties inflicted on the Germans. The French made slower progress near the inter-army boundary, due to the obstruction of St Pierre Vaast Wood to the French attack north towards Sailly and Sailly-Saillisel. The inter-army boundary was moved north from 27 to 28 September, to allow the French more room to deploy their forces but the great quantity of German artillery-fire limited the French advance. The Fourth Army advance on 25 September was its deepest since 14 July and left the Germans in severe difficulties, particularly in a salient which developed to the north-east of Combles. Tiredness and lack of reserves prevented the Fourth Army exploiting its success beyond patrolling and cavalry probes. The Reserve Army attack began on 26 September, at the Battle of Thiepval Ridge. Deteriorating weather and the shorter days greatly increased British and French transport difficulties; rain and fog grounded aircraft and impeded artillery observation. Mud reduced the blast effect of shells and immobilised infantry, which was an advantage to the defenders. A small number of tanks joined in the battle later in the afternoon, after having been held back because of the later start, reducing a number of German strong points, which had withstood earlier attacks.

  • La bataille de Morval se déroula lors de l'offensive franco-britannique de la Somme. La bataille, initialement prévue pour le 21 septembre 1916, débuta le 25 et dura 4 jours, résultant en une victoire franco-britannique considérable. L'attaque avait pour but de libérer les villages de Morval, Gueudecourt et Lesbœufs tenus par la 1re armée allemande ce qui était, à l'origine, l'objectif de la Bataille de Flers-Courcelette. Totalement détruits, Morval et l'église de Saint-Vaast seront reconstruits après la Première Guerre mondiale. (fr)

  • La battaglia di Morval, che ebbe inizio il 25 settembre 1916, fu un attacco perpetuato dalle truppe inglesi contro le forze tedesche che occupavano i villaggi di Morval, Gueudecourt e Lesbœufs. Lo scontro ebbe luogo durante la battaglia della Somme. Questi villaggi erano in realtà alcuni degli obbiettivi originari dell'attacco del 15 settembre, comunemente noto come battaglia di Flers-Courcelette. La , poiché non era riuscita a mantenere il passo con i progressi fatti dagli Inglesi durante quel mese, attaccò nel tentativo di affiancarsi alle forze britanniche. Mentre il villaggio di Combles fu, alla fine, catturato, i Francesi non riuscirono ad eguagliare l'avanzata inglese e così rimase il problema di un saliente tedesco al limite delle armate degli Alleati.
