Overview:
As the Germans relentlessly pushed deeper into Belgium, they hit the British defenses at the Escaut River. They suffered sever casualties forcing a crossing, and establishing a bridgehead near Esquelmes on Poplar Ridge. The small bridgehead was heavily shelled, and then attacked in successive waves by two British infantry companies. Still, the Germans held firm to the important ridge. The British tried once again, supported by three Bren Carriers.Attacker: British (Elements of 3rd Company, 3rd Battalion, Grenadier Guards)
Defender: German (Elements of 2nd Battalion, 12th Regiment, 31st Infantry Division)
