Talk:Battle of Ginchy

message: I've changed Guinchy->Ginchy so that text comforms with title, but I'm not certain if this is correct. There are two villages with similar names in the area: Cuinchy [or Guinchy] and Ginchy. Which is the correct one? Drutt 10:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The text says that the fighting was "highly successful" while the box says "indecisive". That seems to be a contradiction to me. --Proofreader (talk) 23:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Cutting and pasting this from the article page; as a discussion of the article and its sources it seems more aptly posted here:
:According to The Grenadiar Guards In The Great War 1914 - 1919, Volume 2, Page 108, lines 01 and 02; the 8th Brigade of the Grenadier Guards took over Ginchy from the Sixteenth Division on 8th September 1916, which would suggest that the battle must have taken place prior to 8th September. It further states that 4th Battalion of the Grenadiers and 1st Battalion of the Welsh Guards were placed in the front line with the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards and the 2nd Battalion of the Scotts Guards being held in reserve. Either the initial date above is incorrect or book The Grenadier Guards In The Great War 1914 - 1919 is inaccurate. [Originally added by User:Jim Blenkhorn (talk)]

replies: text: With regard to the point above, it seems the article defines the battle a bit narrowly, but the books I have to hand describe the capture of Ginchy on 9 September as by the 16th Irish Division. Perhaps the Grenadier history means they took over the positions facing Ginchy that the Irish had been occupying before they moved off for the assault? In any case the article could do with expanding with a bit more context both before and after 9 September. --IxK85 (talk) 14:32, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
