Battle of Jugla
The Battle of Jugla was a defensive battle of the Russian Republic's 12th Army of the First World War from 1 to 3 September 1917. It was part of the German offensive called the ''Battle of the Gulf of Riga'' or ''Schlacht um Riga''. The main objective for the Russian 12th Army was to prevent the German 8th Army from forcing the Daugava river and besieging Russian troops in Riga.
The battle took place at the banks of the river Mazā Jugla and one of the main units involved were 6000 Latvian rifleman from the 2nd Latvian Rifleman brigade under the command of Ansis Lielgalvis.
== Background ==
German generals began to prepare for the battle as early as December 1916. It was decided to force the Daugava River at Ikšķile and quickly advance north and northwest. This had two main intended purposes: to cause the surrender of the Russian 12th Army and to capture Riga. This would also afford the benefit of straightening the German front line, which would allow a number of German divisions to be freed up and sent to France, where ultimately the fate of the war would be determined.〔()〕
