Leipzig Salient

Battle during the First World War

The Leipzig Salient was the British term for a German defensive position built in 1915 on the Somme front in France, during the First World War. The Salient was opposite the village of Authuille that contained the Leipzig Redoubt on its west face. The position was to the south-west of the site of the later Thiepval Memorial, north-east of the La Boisselle–Authuille and Thiepval–Aveluy crossroads.
