Thiepval is the high ground that anchored this particular stretch of the Front. The German positions there were the tactical key to the battlefield and having captured Pozieres, the Australian attacks then shifted to Mouquet Farm (called Moo Cow Farm by the Australians) in an effort to outflank the German positions at Thiepval.

A diagram of the Barrage Plan for the Australian Corps advance. The barrage was fired on preset timings without the benefit of radio communications so advancing troops had to be careful not to get too close to, or be left behind by the line of the creeping barrage.

Each battery of guns would be using different firing data on a relentless schedule from their many and varied locations in order to achieve this effect on the ground.
