The British XVII Corps, commanded by Lieutenant-General Sir Julian Byng, relieved the French Tenth Army in the sector in February 1916, permitting the French to expand their operations at Verdun. The British soon discovered that German tunnelling companies had taken advantage of the relative calm on the surface to build an extensive network of tunnels and deep mines from which they would attack French positions by setting off explosive charges underneath their trenches. The Royal Engineers immediately deployed specialist tunnelling companies along the front to combat the German mining operations. In response to increased British mining aggression, German artillery and trench mortar fire intensified in early May 1916. On 21 May 1916, after shelling both forward trenches and divisional artillery positions from no less than 80 out-of-sight batteries on the reverse slope of the ridge, the German infantry began operation Schleswig Holstein, an attack on the British lines along a 1,800-metre (2,000 yd) front in an effort to eject them from positions along the ridge. The Germans captured several British-controlled tunnels and mine craters before halting their advance and entrenching their positions.

⇒英国軍第XVII軍団は、中将ジュリアン・ビング卿の麾下、1916年2月にこの地区でフランス第10方面軍を救援して、フランス軍のヴェルダンにおける作戦行動の拡大を可能にした。英国軍は、ドイツ軍が表面の相対的な落ちつきを利用して（その陰でして）いることをすぐに発見した。ドイツ軍の掘削中隊が、フランス軍塹壕の下に装填爆薬を敷設することでフランス軍陣地を攻撃するための、広大なトンネル連絡網と深い爆破坑道（＝敵陣の下を通る）を構築していたのである。英国王立陸軍工兵隊は直ちにドイツ軍の採掘活動と戦うため、戦線に沿って坑道掘削の専門家中隊を布陣・展開した。

⇒増大していく英国軍の坑道攻撃に応じて、大砲や迫撃砲によるドイツ軍の砲火が1916年5月上旬に強まった。1916年5月21日、尾根の逆傾斜によって目隠しされた80門を下らない砲台から塹壕と師団砲兵隊陣地を砲撃した後、ドイツ歩兵連隊は「シュレスヴィヒ・ホルスタイン」作戦行動、すなわち、尾根に沿った陣地から英国軍を放り出すために、1,800メートル（2,000ヤード）の前線に沿った英国軍の戦線に対する攻撃を開始した。ドイツ軍は、英国軍支配下の坑道や地雷クレーターを幾つか攻略し、（そこで）進軍を停止して自軍の陣地に塹壕を掘った。
