Historical Background:
After the German breakthrough to the Channel, French 7th Army under the command of General Frere received the order to make a new front line on the Somme river. German troops had already establish a bridgehead in the south of Amiens and the 7th Colonial Infantry Division (7th DIC) arrived by forced march, was ordered to reduce this bridgehead. In the morning of 24th May, with the support of a squadron of SOMUA tanks from the 7th Regiment of Cuirassiers, colonial and Senegalese infantrymen advanced to Dury and Saint Fuscien and captured it in a fierce battle. On the right, the Recce Group of the Division (GRD 77) captured Cagny, allowing later the capture of Longueau station. But in front of Amiens, the French attack was slowed by the heavy German resistance. On the following night, French command stopped the attack in order to reorganize the troops.
