Beaumetz was captured by 22 March and then lost during the night to a German counter-attack, which led the Australians to plan the capture Doignies and Louveral with the 15th Brigade in daylight, without artillery or flank support. The plan was countermanded by the divisional commander, Major-General Talbot Hobbs as soon as he heard of it and Brigadier-General Elliott was nearly sacked. The 7th Division commander, after the costly repulse at Bucquoy, delayed his 1,200-yard (1,100 m) advance on Ecoust and Croisilles, to liaise with the 58th Division to the north-west
Gough ordered the attack on Croisilles to begin without delay but the advance was stopped by the Germans at a belt of uncut wire on the outskirts of the village. Gough sacked Barrow and left his replacement, Major-General T. Shoubridge, under no doubt about the need for haste.

⇒ボーメッツは、3月22日まで占領されていたが、その日の夜の間にドイツ軍の反撃で失われた。このことから、オーストラリア軍第15旅団が、砲兵隊や側面隊の支持なしで、ドワニーやルーヴェラルに対する昼間の攻略を計画するに至った。(しかし)師団長タルボット・ホッブス少将がそれを耳にするや否や、計画は撤回され、エリオット准将はすんでのところで首にされるところであった。第7師団指揮官は、ブッコイでの撃退にてこずった後、エクーストとクロアズィーユへの1,200ヤード(1,100m)の進軍を遅らせて、北西の第58師団に連絡をつけた。

⇒ゴフは、クロアズィーユへの攻撃を滞りなく始まるよう命令したが、村の周辺にある未切断の鉄条網地帯で、ドイツ軍によって前進が食い止められた。ゴフはバローを解任して、急ぎの必要な場合に間違いのないT.シューブリッジ少将を彼の後任に残した。
