The British advancing centre from between Mametz wood and Montauban occupied Bazentin le Grand and next captured a troublesome redoubt northwards of the village; then further west they stormed through other field works prisonering four hundred and capturing much material. A Pomeranian brigade offered a stiff fight at Bazentin le Petit. The British twice traversed the wooded approach to the village and twive were compelled to withdraw. A third assault was successful.
