The <entity_0> was fought on <entity_3> near <entity_4> in northern France during World War I. In the week following the <entity_5>, the Germans renewed their attempts to advance in the sector, culminating in the Second <entity_2> on 5 April, when the Germans were defeated in desperate fighting. Travelling by train, bus and marching on foot, the remaining two brigades of the 4th Division, the 12th and 13th Brigades, concentrated in the area west of <entity_4>, under the command of the VII Corps led by Lieutenant General <entity_1>, which now formed the right flank of the Third Army. That division had been involved in a series of fighting withdrawals since being committed to <entity_5> on 25 March near Cléry-sur-Somme, some 13 miles (21 km) east of <entity_4>. During the night of 27/<entity_3>, patrols of the 47th Battalion had observed German troops on the Albert–<entity_4> road, on the open flats just 250–300 yd (230–270 m) across the railway line, but the night passed without obvious signs of attack.
