Battle of Fromelles
The Battle of Fromelles occurred in France between 19 and 20 July 1916, during World War I.

The operation, carried out midway between the British-occupied village of Fleurbaix and that of Fromelles behind the German lines, sought to retake a salient just north of the latter, situated at about 16 kilometres from the city of Lille.
