  Google isn't helpful for this 14/11/1916 battle at Acheux which had horrendous first day casualties.

  I think this is the Battle of the Ancre Heights. Article mentions the many casualties. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Ancre_Heights

  Actually, the Battle of Ancre Heights ended a couple of days earlier. I think this must be the Battle of the Ancre - very similar name - which happened immediately afterwards.
