The British campaign in France and Flanders, 1916 . e had observation over theValley of the Ancre, but in another part the Germansstill held on to the Stuff Redoubt, and thence fora stretch they were still on the crest and had theobservation. The Stuff Redoubt itself on the southernface had been occupied by the Eleventh, when theSchwaben Redoubt was taken by the EighteenthDivision, but the northern faces of both were stillin the hands of the enemy. These had now to betaken in order to clear up the line. A further strong-hold, called The Mounds, immediately to the north, came also within the operation.
