>The heavy steel bridges could be transported from a Base Park at Le Havre with 72 hours' notice. A bridge over the canal near Péronne was built by surveying the ground on the night of 15 March, towing pontoons up river the next night, building beginning at dawn on 17 March and the 60 feet (18 m) pontoon being ready by noon. Infantry of the 1/8th Royal Warwicks crossed that evening and were then ferried over the river beyond on rafts, to become the first Allied troops into Péronne. ⇒鋼製の重い橋が、72時間の通告をもってル・アーブルの基地公園から輸送することができた。ペロンヌ近くの運河にかけられるその橋は、3月15日の夜に地面を調査・検分し、その翌晩川の上で架台橋(浮船橋)を牽引し、3月17日明け方に建築作業を始め、正午までに60フィート(18m)の架台橋が準備できた。第1/8ロイヤル・ヴァーヴィックス歩兵連隊は、その日の夕方筏で川向こうに渡り、ペロンヌ入りした初の連合国軍隊になった。 >On the right flank, IV Corps had to advance about 14 miles (23 km) over cratered and blocked roads to reach the Somme but Corps Mounted Troops and cyclists arrived on 18 March to find German rearguards also mounted on bicycles. Infantry crossed the river on 20 March by when the mounted troops had reached Germaine and the Fourth Army infantry outposts were established on high ground 2.5–3 miles (4.0–4.8 km) east of the Somme. ⇒右側面の第IV軍団はソンムと連絡をつけるために、クレーターだらけでふさがれた道をおよそ14マイル(23キロ)を進まなければならなかったが、所属の騎馬隊とサイクリスト隊が3月18日に到着してドイツ軍の後衛防御隊もまた自転車に乗っているのを発見した。歩兵連隊が川を渡った3月20日までにはすでに騎馬軍隊がジェルメーヌに到着していて、第4方面軍歩兵連隊の哨戒陣地が、ソンム東の2.5–3マイル(4.0–4.8km)の高地に設営された。
