Germany launched a new attack near Dernancourt, France, and were able to breach the railway embankment which formed part of a defensive barrier for the Australian troops. A counter-attack later in the day was able to halt the German advance. This engagement was the strongest attack faced by the Australians in the Great War. Two Australian Brigades faced two and a half German Divisions. The Germans suffered 1600 casualties; the Australians suffered nearly as many with 1230 casualties.
