The objective was commanded by the higher ground on the south bank and it was not until the 50th Division captured the rise on the south side of the Cojeul that the village was taken. Several determined German counter-attacks were made and by the morning of 24 April, the British held Guémappe, Gavrelle and the high ground overlooking Fontaine-lez-Croisilles and Cherisy; the fighting around Roeux was indecisive. The principal objective of the attack was the need to sustain a supporting action tying down German reserves to assist the French offensive against the plateau north of the Aisne traversed by the Chemin des Dames. Haig reported,
With a view to economising my troops, my objectives were shallow, and for a like reason, and also in order to give the appearance of an attack on a more imposing scale, demonstrations were continued southwards to the Arras-Cambrai Road and northwards to the Souchez River.

⇒コジュル川南岸の高地のおかげでそこから標的は見渡せていたが、第50師団が川の南側にある上り坂を攻略してからようやく村が占領された。断固としたドイツ軍の反撃が数回なされて、4月24日の朝までに、英国軍はゲマップ、ガヴレーユ、およびよく見渡しのきくフォンテーン‐レ‐クロワズィユとチェリスィを掌握した。（しかし）ロー周辺の戦いは、一進一退であった。
