Historical Background:
The German breakthrough on the Somme river in June 1940 was terrible for Allied troops, French units of the 9th Army Corps and British units of the 51th Highland Division were fighting and withdrawing in front an enemy always superior in numbers. South of Saint Saëns, in the locality of Beaumont, a Scottish company and some isolated French soldiers were caught up by German motorized infantry. British soldiers were able to counter-attack the enemy but the reinforcement of the German troops by some tanks stopped the counter-attack and crushed the Scottish resistance.
