13-19 October 1915: The Action of the Hohenzollern Redoubt—the most significant defensive strongpoint in that sector of the front, the Hohenzollernwerk, had been captured by the British during the initial Battle of Loos & then recaptured in a German counterattack; this last, failed British assault was described in the official postwar history as having "not improved the general situation in any way."
Lest we forget.
