THE main striking force of the 36th (Ulster) Division had been concentrated for an attack on the German lines which extended from the southern edge of the River Ancre to Thiepval village itself.
Their objectives included St. Pierre-Divion and the Schwaben Redoubt.
As we have seen, the British 108th Brigade (Brigadier General C.R.J. Griffith) was forced to split their attack due to the Ancre river and only two battalions of the brigade would be facing the men of the 99th Reserve; the 13th and 11th Royal Irish Rifles.
From the research of Ralph J. Whitehead
At 7.30 in the morning the III Battalion/99th Reserve reported that the enemy artillery, heavy artillery and trench mortars raised themselves up to barrage fire. At the same time the 10th Coy/99th Reserve in Sector C2 reported that a large smoke cloud was near their line.
The trench garrison immediately opened a steady fire from their rifles and machine guns. The artillery batteries in support added their barrage fire on the British lines and support areas.
The 13th Royal Irish Rifles, advancing along the bank of the Ancre, suffered heavy casualties from infantry fire coming from St. Pierre-Divion as well as from German artillery fire. The battalion was stopped before it could reach the German wire and the survivors then moved to their right and joined with the 11th Royal Irish Rifles who were having better luck with their advance.
Soldat Wilhelm Lange, 99th Reserve, wrote: "I scrambled up the back of the trench, took up my position with my rifle on a small rise and opened fire into the crowd of English soldiers who were coming across No Man's Land. There were so many of them, they were like trees in a wood. We kept them out of our part of the line but they broke through on our left. I was standing up, firing, and my officer shouted to me, ‘Come down', but in my excitement I told him, ‘But they're not shooting', and the officer said, ‘You fool, can't you hear the bullets whistling?"
The 11th Royal Irish Rifles were able to reach the first line trench at the left wing of Sector C1 and with the aid of the smokescreen broke through the 10th Coy/99th Reserve in Sector C2, reaching the Stein-Weg and Meisengasse. The German wire and trenches had been badly damaged in Sector C2. Many of the dugouts were blocked by debris and their occupants were busy trying to clear the exits.
Part of the 10th Coy was able to man their trenches and they fired into the enemy ranks as quickly as they could. One machine gun that had been placed into position was only able to fire for a few moments before most of the gun crew was killed or wounded and the gun was captured by the Ulstermen. The 13th and 11th Royal Irish Rifles pressed their advance, driving the remnants of the 10th Coy further to the rear. The fighting was fierce as the Ulstermen pushed deeper into the German trenches towards the Strassburger Steige.
As the two battalions of the 108th Brigade moved forward they were under continuous heavy fire on their left flank from the 12th Coy/99th Reserve and 1st Coy/8th Bavarian Reserve positioned around St. Pierre-Divion. When the 13th and 11th Royal Irish Rifles reached the Strassburger Steige near the Meisengasse they were unable to move towards St. Pierre-Divion due to machine gun fire from a gun placed further up the Strassburger Steige near the village. The Irish battalions then moved to the east where they remained in close contact with the 109th Brigade as they also advanced deeper into the German lines.
The fighting was brutal, men were killed on both sides. The scene was described by members of the Ulster Division:
The remains of a German observation post overlooking Thiepval Wood. It is sited only a few yards from the front entrance of the Ulster Tower.
"In one part of the B line, the trenches near the river, there was a carpet of dead and dying Ulstermen and Germans. Blood lay like a layer of and, do you know, you couldn't tell one blood from the other...in another part...a party of the Skins left the B line and hid in shell-holes within bombing distance - the distance a man could throw a Mills bomb. The Germans re-entered their own trench. The sound of the first hand-grenade exploding was the signal to start bombing the two or three hundred yards of the trench where the Germans were collecting...after the last grenade had been thrown there was a bayonet charge. There was not one German soldier left alive...they collected all the grenades, ammunition, even rifles, water and food the Germans were carrying - a bloody messy job."
AFTERNOON
There was no organized counterattack from the direction of St. Pierre-Divion, but there was still heavy fighting throughout the afternoon. Two platoons from the 8th Bavarian reserve occupied the second trench near the Meisen Gasse where they formed a trench block, effectively preventing the British troops from expanding their gains towards St. Pierre-Divion. Hauptmann Mandel coordinated the defenses by the village. He had troops from the 12th Coy/99th Reserve and 1st Coy/8th Bavarian Reserve move into the captured trenches and begin to mop them up from the enemy. They came up against the 8th, 13th and 15th Royal Irish Rifles, who were defending the left flank of the Ulstermen against the German hand grenade troops. During this action Unteroffizier Brombauer, 4th Coy/8th Bavarian Reserve and Unteroffizier Schuler and Infantryman Biener, 1st Coy/8th Bavarian Reserve were singled out for their actions during the day.
During a lull in the fighting around St. Pierre-Divion, Soldat Wilhelm Lange heard an unusual sound:
"About 2.30 in the afternoon the attacks had stopped. I heard music from a bit farther along the trench where the English were. I told my mates and the didn’t believe me. Then we all listened and sure enough we heard something like a zither or guitar. So I popped up my rifle and went along to have a look. At about 100 meters distance, I could vaguely see some people so I went back to my mates. We all took our rifles and fired off a few rounds at them. There was a short silence and then they replied with a machine gun. We didn’t hear the music again."

This picture, one of a series from the Western Front Association's website, shows the site of the Ulster Tower, Connaught Cemetery on the edge of Thiepval Wood and Mill Road cemetery on the crest of the hill. The infamous Schwaben Redoubt dominated the landscape and can be found between Mill Road cemetery and the copse of trees near the top left of the picture.
Des Blackadder examines the British accounts
THE fighting along the Ancre and towards St. Pierre Divion has rightly been described as a ‘bloody and messy job’. The truth of that statement is clearly indicated in the action report compiled soon after the attack by Lt. Col. William Savage, commanding the 13th R.I.Rifles.
The report highlights the impossibility of maintaining any kind of meaningful communications with no less than 10 of the signallers attached to Lt. Col. Savage being killed or wounded. Company and platoon officers were hard hit with only one subaltern coming out of the action unscathed. On this section of the front and especially in the bitterly contested fire-fights in the German lines, it can truly be described as a ‘soldier’s battle.’
Lt. Col. Savage, writing on July 7th, broke his report down into separate narratives. He leads off with an all-embracing account of the action to his front and from the outset, it is clear that he had little or no ability to influence the performance of his troops.
In basic terms, once the 13th Royal Irish Rifles had left their trenches they were out of his control. They were attempting to advance but it WAS messy .. and as the day progressed, it was to be incredibly bloody too.
The first part of his report follows:-
I have the honour to forward herewith a narrative of events on the 1st July. Very little, almost no information, was sent in, this was due in the first place to most of the officers becoming casualties, and the difficulty of getting men across the fire swept zone of no-man’s land.
Signalling wires had previously been laid out by the Signalling Officer of the 17th but all attempts by the signallers to take a line forward were useless. I had 10 signallers killed and wounded. I append a list of the officer casualties by Companies 2/Lieut Fullerton of D Coy is the only officer who went over who has come back unwounded & has very little information to give about his Company.
Wm. Savage
Comdg 13th R. Ir. Rifles
With this rather bleak introduction completed, Lt. Col. Savage bravely attempted to give chronological order to a chaotic episode. He continued:-
5 - 6 am - The men had hot tea for breakfast and a rum ration before they got out to attack at about 6.30 am
6.30 am - They paraded and filed up to the three gaps in our parapet, being on the steep hillside they were under cover from view & fire & there were no casualties.
7.15 am - At a quarter before Zero, they moved out & lay down on the tape, they moved off a couple of minutes before Zero time, so as to be within 150 yards of the German trenches at the lift.
7.30 am - Directly the start was made the German MGs could be heard firing at once. From this time I received no messages, & the Companies were lost.
8.06 am - Captain Matthews Comdg A Coy on my right sent in a note to say he was held up in A Line & asking for Vickers Gun. Captain Davidson whose guns were in reserve was then sent out.
9.20 am - Getting no news from the front I thought affairs could not be going according to programme. I tried to get reinforcements from 15th R. Ir. Rifles but they could give none, & said their Right Coys are through B Line and the Companies on the left are in difficulties. After this letter, I asked 108th Infn Bde for reinforcements but none were forthcoming.
10.20 am - Captain J S Davidson 108 MG Company reported: "Am in the B Line 7 have got up 2 Vickers Guns, am consolidating both. Cannot say how many infantry are in the line, but in this part, there are only about 30 men of the 13th, 11th & 15th Royal Irish Rifles. We cannot possibly advance & reinforcements, ammo & bombs most urgently needed."
This report was sent on to 108th Infn Brigade Major with further request for reinforcements. Somewhere about this time I sent out 2/Lieut RB Marriott-Watson - the Intelligence Officer - to see if any information was forthcoming. He knew the ground well as he was Battn Scout Officer. He however was wounded and admitted to hospital. The situation was quite confused & very conflicting reports were coming in.
Assessment at noon - Lt. Col. Savage’s report frankly admits that the direction of the attack is completely out of his hands. He can barely communicate, is unable to draw on reinforcements and what few snippets of information he has received make it plain that his troops are swiftly running out of ammunition, and, most importantly, hand grenades.
The advance along the bank of the Ancre had cost the 13th R.I. Rifles dearly. They had been unable to take the machine-gun positions at St. Pierre Divion and resistance from this German strongpoint funnelled the Co. Down men into the sector already being attacked by their comrades in the 11th Royal Irish Rifles.
12.40 pm - A message from Capt Davidson 108th MGC arrived. "I am holding the end of a communication trench in A line with a few bombers & a Lewis Gun. We cannot hold much longer. We are being pressed on all sides and ammunition almost finished."
12.50 pm - I then sent up the few remaining Battn Staff, the orderly room Sergt, 2 Officers servants, two Coy QM Sergts with ammunition, these men were unable to cross No Mans Land. Two were killed three were wounded.
1.05 pm - 270 bombs were also sent up with a party & a man who knew the way. 2/Lieut Findlay went out about this time for information & returned wounded later on.
1.40 pm - 2/Lieut Dale sent in a note to say he was installed in a German trench 50 yards or more to the left of Captain Davidson, firing on German bombing party. This officer returned later on, gallantly saving his two guns & bringing in an extra tripod which he found.
3 pm - The situation was confused & no information was available. I received Bde Majors No 108/660 regarding party of Germans advancing on St Pierre Divion.
3.20 pm - I replied with my No 2 of 1st saying I had no men & reinforcements were required. Rn J Blakely came in from the sunken road and reported that Capt Davidson had been wounded in the knee & while he & another man were carrying him out, he was shot dead between them.
3.50 pm - 2 Coys of the York & Lancaster Battn arrived about this time, when Bde Majors information re the German counter attack arrived & these two Companies held the NW edge if Thiepval Wood. Several batches of German prisoners came in under escort parties of the Ulster Division from A & B lines of German Trenches.
After this time the two Coys of the Y&L Battn were holding the front line & by night I had a party of 40 men gathered up from the men who returned to hold the left flank of Peterhead & Waterhead Sap. A prisoner was captured on this flank after dark, which, read in conjunction with a note from Capt Powell RFA looks as if some Germans were coming in to give themselves up, but went away. The message was "Wounded man reports Germans advancing down marsh".
The night was very quiet except fairly heavy shelling. Men kept coming in, wounded men & others so tired that they lay down just where they were.
Company narratives.
A Coy
From narratives received from the survivors it appears that A Coy on the right reached A1 German trench with 1 & 2 Platoons with very few casualties, then advanced into A2 Trench. During this time 3 & 4 Platoons were held up outside A1 trench and lost a great number of men by machine gun fire from the direction of St. Pierre Divion, also bombs thrown from A Trench which was not cleared. The remaining men of 3 & 4 then advanced and reinforced No 1 & 2 in A2 Trench.
They then proceeded to bomb their way to B line where they joined up with an officer of 11th R. Ir. Rifles as we had lost all our officers. This trench was held for a considerable time but owing to our bombs giving out & not getting any reinforcements we were ordered to retire back.
B Coy
No 6 & 8 advanced to A1 Trench but suffered very heavily before reaching it, most of the casualties being due to severe machine gun fire from the left. In this trench they found a large number of the enemy who surrendered & were sent back without escort to our own trenches. They then proceeded to A2 Trench but met with determined opposition & had to retire to A1 again. They blocked the A1 Trench on the left as they found the enemy advancing from that side & they succeeded in holding this against the enemy. Subsequently a party from these platoons advanced up communication trench to A2 line & held a position of that line by blocking the trench both to the right & left. Bombing parties of the enemy continued to harass them continually until they were withdrawn in the evening.
No 5 & 7 Platoons lost very heavily near the sunken road but the remainder went on and entered the A1 Trench. They then went on & entered communication trench near the point where it enters A2 Trench. They found considerable opposition at this point from the enemy bombing parties & were driven back to the A1 Trench.
They subsequently succeeded in bombing the enemy back up this communication trench into the A2 lines & put up a barricade at this point, which they held until after 8 pm when they received orders to retire to our own trenches.
Capt Johnston who was in command of No 5 & 7 Platoons was seriously wounded near A2 Trench early in the proceedings.
C Coy
No 10 & 12 Platoons went in support of A Coy & No 9 Platoon was following as a carrying Platoon. No 12 Platoon crossed the first line and almost reached the wire of the 2nd line trench, when they were held up by a strong point on their left, which appeared to be a bomb store & also a machine gun post. Just about this time Lieut Rogers was mortally wounded after having given the order for bombers to go to the left flank. The Platoon Sergt, Sergt Love was also killed and the platoon was commanded by Sergt Burns who got them into the 2nd line up the communication to the right. Here they met Capt Davidson who took command of this section of trench until wounded for the 2nd time, when Sergt Burns and Sergt Pikeman A Coy divided the command between them. They consolidated this sector and kept bombing the strong point on the left and supporting a party of the 13th R. Ir. Rifles until ordered to retire.
No 10 Platoon under 2/Lieut Armstrong followed No 12 but coming under MG fire from the strong point on the left went off to the right (as far as I can ascertain, as there are few survivors) and bombed their way up a communication trench into the 2nd line. 2/Lieut Armstrong was wounded here but continued to control his men & organised a sort of strong point near a dug out. They held this until forced to retire the 1st line again.
No 9 Platoon came on under the command of Capt WH Smyth who was killed almost immediately. They were the carrying platoon and some of them reached the first line with material, which after dumping there or carrying to second line was not required, as all the time was spent consolidating, holding the line & helping the fighting platoons.
D Coy
In the advance 14, 15, 16 Platoons reached the sunken road with few casualties but from there to the A1 line we lost very heavily. I (2/Lieut Fullerton) arriving there with about 16 men, we then proceeded to bomb dugouts from there to the left for about 150 yards & we took about 70 prisoners. Then we were held up by a bombing party of the enemy, but held on & succeeded in gaining another 50 yards. Owing to our bombs giving out we had to barricade ourselves & signalled for bombs & reinforcements but the enemy started to bomb us & we withdrew up the trench & barricaded ourselves again, but the enemy still continued to bomb us & I having only a few men left we had to withdraw back to our own lines.

2nd July 1916
Shelling very heavy throughout the day, the Germans seemed to have got the range of Speyside Road & came nearer and nearer the dug outs and shelters. One shell came through the dug out we were using as HQs where the Battn Staff & the 5th Y&L Regt. Fortunately only one man was hurt.
There was nothing doing in the morning except we were informed that we would be relieved.
In the afternoon Lt Colonel Crozier 9th R. Ir. Rifles used the Battn HQs whilst in command of a special … Bde to bomb the German A line & push in the direction of ST PIERRE DIVION.
At 5.30 pm I handed the Peterhead Sap & Waterhead Sap to the CO 5th Battn Y&L Regt. Which saps had been held by my men all night on 1/2nd July. At 7.30 pm I withdrew to MARTINSART under instructions received earlier in the day. By moving in small parties of 10 we were fortunate to come back via Speyside & Northern causeway with only 2 slight casualties.

Attack of the 11th Royal Irish Rifles.
This account has been compiled from the battalion's official history and is thus couched in the language of the day.
The following account of the great battle is taken from different stories and official accounts given by Officers and men who came through that memorable day. It has been censored by several Commanding Officers in the Division, who ascertain to the correctness of it in detail. In a letter received by General Sir George Richardson, K.C.B., commanding the Ulster Volunteer Force, from General Nugent, commanding the Ulster Division, the following passages occur: -
" Before you get this we shall have put the value of the Ulster Division to the supreme test. I have no fear of the result. I am certain no General in the Army out here has a finer Division, fitter or keener. I am certain they will he magnificent in attack, and we could hardly have a date better calculated to inspire national traditions amongst our men of the North.* It makes me very sad to think what the price may be, but I am quite sure the Officers and men reck nothing of that."
Our Divisional line on the right ran through Moy and Crucifix (see map), and on the left from "Mary Redan" on the other side of the river. The 109th Brigade held the line on the extreme right, 9th Inniskilling Fusiliers, and 10th Inniskilling Fusiliers in front, with 11th Inniskilling Fusiliers and 14th Royal Irish Rifles behind.
Of the 108th Brigade, our Battalion was on the right nearest the 10th Inniskilling Fusiliers, then came 13th Royal Irish Rifles with 9th Royal Irish Fusiliers and the 12th Royal Irish Rifles on the extreme left.
Our Battalion formed "B " and A " Companies in front, with D and C Companies in support, " C supporting "A ‘‘ on the right, "D‘‘ supporting "B" on the left. Our object was the line marked Omagh " "Strabane." C " Company was to consolidate "Omagh " and "A" Company "Strabane." "D" and "B" Companies commanded by Captain Webb and Captain Craig, "Strabane " and Enniskillen. That was as far as we had to go, which meant consolidating the 3rd German line running through "Coleraine," "Portadown," Enniskillen," "Strabane," "Omagh." The 107th Brigade were in support behind the 108th, and we were supported by the 15th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles. The object of the 107th Brigade was then to pass through to the 4th German line., "Portrush,’’ "Bundoran,’’ "Derry," and consolidate it. This was as far as the Division was to go. We were to be relieved by the 49th Division when we had "done our bit."
After an intense bombardment the great day of battle broke in sunshine and mist" the mist almost obscuring the brilliant sunshine as the morning advanced. The previous night had been passed quietly in the trenches, the enemy submitting in silence to the terrific gun fire. The German lines were pulverised, shells being discharged at the rate of 140 rounds of shell per minute. In spite of this their dug-outs mostly remained uninjured. For half-an-hour it seemed as if the guns had gathered themselves together for one grand final effort before the British lines should be let loose on their prey. Presently the mist cleared away and heavy black smoke clouds could be seen drifting across the German lines on a slight south-westerly breeze, the result of the bursting of our heavy shells. This proved small assistance to us later on, when, with the sun in their faces, our men advanced from the trenches.
At seven o’clock, eight of our planes flying over the German lines were fired at, but not much damage done. The Germans still lying low, not a single German aviator could be seen at any time that morning. Soon after 7 a.m. there was a perceptible slackening of our fire, and at 7-30 a.m. the attack began, our gallant soldiers leapt from their trenches and advanced against the enemy. The very moment that our men slipped over the parapet they were met with a hail of machine-gun bullets and shrapnel played on them.
It was then that Captain Webb, of "D" Company fell, and many others. They advanced in waves 50 yards apart, and were mown down like hay. "A" Company was soon wiped out, and "C" Company, supporting it, suffered very severely; but they pressed on, gaining all their objectives. By this time there had been a severe thinning out of officers and others in command, and the men, too eager, shoved on towards the 4th line very quickly, and got into the fire of our own artillery. Some of "B" and "D" Company actually got into Grandcourt.
A war correspondent said: "The gallantry displayed by the carrying parties at this part of the fight was most conspicuous, and tiny escorts showed complete contempt of danger in bringing prisoners across an area which was being ploughed up by shell fire. One man, unaided, shepherded across the valley of death a party of fifteen Germans who showed extreme reluctance to risk the fire of their own guns; they wanted to lie down and wait. ‘Not at all,’ said the Ulsterman, covering them with his rifle, ‘just you go across, and they’ll look after you when you get there.’
In the course of a brief conversation several of the prisoners said that the effect of our bombardment prior to the launching of the attack had been terrific. They had been in the front lines, and while they had a reserve supply of food, our barrage fire had prevented them getting any water. Their machine-guns, they said, had been protected by being placed in deep dugouts, and were brought up and used against our troops when they advanced."
Within an hour and a half after the opening of the battle our men had taken five lines of German trenches and captured several hundred prisoners, advancing wave after wave like an irresistible tide. We were in advance of the Division on our left, who were to take Beaumont Hamel, and consequently the whole left flank was exposed to batteries of machine-guns: it was through this that the 12th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles suffered so severely, also the 9th Royal Irish Rifles, who supported them.
The men advanced as if on parade; one or two remembering the ancient watchwords, sang out "Dolly’s Brae" and "No Surrender," but for the most part they kept the stiff upper lip and clenched teeth that meant death or victory. There was no thought of giving way merely duty to be done and a task to be completed. Into the very furnace beat of the German fire our gallant lads went, and as shot and shell raked their ranks, others pressed forward to take their places.
Above: Captain C. C. Craig MP for South Antrim was wounded on 1st July. When German soldiers tried to carry him out of the lines for treatment on a blanket, it broke under his weight. A German officer ordered that Craig be transported in a wheelbarrow. This picture was later published in German newspapers. The incident is recounted in Middlebrook's epic 'First Day on the Somme', the most readable account of the 1st July actions.
From both flanks they were enfiladed by machine-gun fire. On the right, Germans lying low in dug-outs came up from the cellars in Thiepval village with machine-guns and poured a hail of bullets into the 109th Brigade and 108th Brigade from behind. As they emerged from Thiepval Wood they fell in hundreds, the German fire at this point being protracted and perfect.
The trees were slashed and cut till nothing but bare stumps remained. No one could cross that No Man’s Land and escape the fire; even the wounded were shot through and through on the ground as they lay. The 107th Brigade, passing through in support to the 108th, did magnificent work. All day long the remnants of the battalions held on to the lines of the German trenches which had been captured, though nearly all the officers were gone, but no supplies of bombs or ammunition could he got across.
In the evening, about six o’clock, a big German counter-attack was made, and we had to fall back, leaving our wounded, who were too bad to he moved, in dug-outs. These advanced points could not be held for long; the enemy might be killed and captured, but the place had developed into a dangerous salient, while the flanking fire from right and left made the position a terrible one, the Division on either side being held up by unsurmountable (sic) obstacles. The order to retire was given, and on Saturday night, July 1st, we were once more on our old front line. Apparently all the sacrifice had been in vain. At 1 o’clock on Sunday afternoon the remnants of the 107th Brigade and all that was left of our battalion and the 13th Royal Irish Rifles counterattacked and easily retook the three German lines. The crucial point was the ridge that ran through "Omagh,’’ and unless that could be held we could not hope to hold Serre and the line to La Boiselle. On the left, Beaumont Hamel commanded all, and on the right Thiepval village was the strong point. Unless these were captured our divisional line became a salient raked by machine-gun fire. The 32nd Division actually passed through Thiepval village, but the Germans, who were hidden in the cellars and concrete dug-outs, allowed them to pass, and then came up from behind, and the casualties were appalling. The 12th Royal Irish Rifles and the 9th Royal Irish Fusiliers, on our left, were practically wiped out.
The Germans staked all on holding the ridge. 70 of the 15th Royal Irish Rifles and 113 of our 11th Battalion answered their names on Saturday night, and that was before the fierce fighting of Sunday. One of the most remarkable facts was the enormous number of slightly wounded men among our casualties; and as for the medical organisation, nothing could surpass it; no tribute could be great enough for the divisional medical staff. It was a magnificently heroic fight, and one of which Ulster has every reason to be proud.
* General Nugent’s reference is of course to the First of July.
