“Battle of the Hohenzollern Redoubt – The Leicestershire Territorials Baptism of Fire.” Afternoon ta
The Battle of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, took place during the Battle of Loos (25 September – 15 October 1915) in World War I. The British 9th Division captured the redoubt and then lost it to a German counter-attack. The final British assault by the 46th (North Midland) Division, which included the Leicestershire Territorial Battalions, on 13 October failed and resulted in 3,643 casualties, mostly in the first few minutes. This talk examines that day’s events and the consequences that followed. Free event- refreshments provided.
