Battle of Neuve-Chapelle

1915 battle in the First World War

The Battle of Neuve-Chapelle took place in the First World War in Artois in France. The attack was intended to cause a rupture in the German lines, which would then be exploited with a rush to the Aubers Ridge and possibly Lille. A French assault at Vimy Ridge on the Artois plateau was also planned to threaten the road, rail and canal junctions at La Bassée from the south as the British attacked from the north.
