Slaughter on the Crozat Canal, Part 1 (Great War Story)

March 22nd, March 23rd, the German assault on the Crozat Canal between St.Simon and Jussy. Eye witness reports and regimental histories from both the British and German sides. (I'm not aware of any accounts of this engagement online or in books that use the German account of the battle or the Circumstances Leading to Capture forms of various British officers... in other words, you'll get stuff here that you won't get elsewhere. The German translations are my own, so of course any mistakes are my responsibility.)
