==Prelude==
Field Marshal Douglas Haig, commanding the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), was not eager to carry out any offensives, until the assault on the Hindenburg Line, influenced by mounting British Army losses from previous battles that year, over since March, them in the past six weeks. Rawlinson was kept reined in and advised by Haig to ensure his men were well rested for the eventual attack on the Line. When news arrived of the British Third Army's victory at the Battle of Havrincourt, Haig's mind was changed. On the day following the success at Havrincourt, 13 September, Haig approved Rawlinson's plan to clear German outpost positions on the high ground before the Hindenburg Line and preparations began.
