Battle of Thiepval Ridge
The Battle of Thiepval Ridge was the first large offensive mounted by the Reserve Army of Lieutenant General Hubert Gough during the Battle of the Somme and was intended to benefit from the Fourth Army attack at Morval by starting 24 hours afterwards.
Battle of the Ancre
The Battle of the Ancre 13–18 November, was the final large British attack of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, before the winter weather forced a pause in British attacks until the new year. It was fought by the Fifth Army, under the command of Lieutenant General Hubert Gough, against the German First Army under General von Below. The intent of the British attack was to fulfill complementary objectives.
Ulster Tower
The Ulster Tower is a memorial to the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division. The memorial was officially opened on November 19, 1921 and is a very close copy of Helen's Tower which stands in the grounds of the Clandeboye Estate, near Bangor, County Down in Northern Ireland. Many of the men of the Ulster Division trained in the estate before moving to England and then France early in 1916. The tower (plus a small cafe nearby) is staffed by members of the Somme Association, which is based in Belfast.
