Leipzig salient
The ドイツ語:''Leipzig'' Salient was a German defensive position opposite the village of Authuille which contained the ''Leipzig'' Redoubt on its west face. The position lay to the south-west of the post-war Thiepval Memorial, north-east of the La Boisselle–Authuille and Thiepval–Aveluy crossroads. The German front line bulged forward around a quarry which had been fortified and enclosed by Hindenburg Trench, which had been dug further back across the chord of the salient. The ドイツ語:''Wundtwerk'' ("Wonderwork") redoubt lay further back on a reverse slope and Nab Valley lay on the east side; Thiepval was to the north and to the north-west were the fortified Mouquet Farm and the village of Pozières.
On the First day on the Somme (1 July 1916), the ドイツ語:''Leipzig'' Salient was attacked by the 1/17th Highland Light Infantry (17th HLI) of the 32nd Division. the battalion crept forward at ready to rush the German defences as soon as the British barrage lifted at The Scots advanced to a line short of the German front line, ready to rush the trench as soon as the British barrage lifted. The Scots rushed forward to the redoubt and caught the German garrison while they were still sheltering in their dugouts in the quarry at the centre of the redoubt. The 17th HLI then pressed on to the next objective but were forced back to the ドイツ語:''Leipzig'' Redoubt, where they consolidated with help from troops of the 2nd King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry.
The 17th HLI were joined at the redoubt by parties of the 2nd King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI), 11th Border, 1st Dorset and the 19th Lancashire Fusiliers (3rd Salford Pals) during the day and the 17th HLI were withdrawn overnight. British and German attacks at the salient continued during July, when the Reserve Army divisions north of the Albert–Bapaume road reverted to trench warfare, in which the 32nd 25th and 49th divisions occupied ドイツ語:''Leipzig'' Redoubt in turn during the rest of the month. The X Corps divisions were to push forward, to improve their positions and to prevent the Germans from withdrawing troops for operations against the Fourth Army to the south. Both sides made costly attacks but could rarely consolidate gains before being forced out by counter-attacks. Intermittent operations at the ドイツ語:''Leipzig'' Salient continued as part of the Battle of Pozières and the Battle of Thiepval Ridge when the Thiepval Spur was captured by the 18th (Eastern) Division.
