>Each German regiment held a zone approximately 1,000 metres (1,100 yd) wide as far back as the rear area. When the Canadian Corps attacked, each German company faced two or more battalions of approximately 1,000 men each. Reserve divisions were kept approximately 24 kilometres (15 mi) back instead of assembling close behind the second line according the defence-in-depth theory. ⇒ドイツ軍の各連隊は、およそ1,000メートル(1,100ヤード)幅の地帯を(先頭から)はるか後衛部の後ろまで保持していた。カナダ軍団が攻撃したとき、ドイツ軍の各中隊はそれぞれ約1,000人の兵士のいたカナダ軍大隊2個以上に対峙した。予備師団は、深部防御論に従って、第2戦線の近くに集まる代わりに、およそ24キロ(15マイル)後方に待機していた。 >The Canadian Corps' divisional artillery formations, totalling eight field brigades and two heavy artillery groups, were insufficient for the task at hand and were consequently reinforced with outside formations. Four heavy artillery groups, nine artillery field brigades, three divisional artillery groups and the artillery complement of the British 5th Division was attached to the Canadian Corps. In addition, ten heavy artillery groups of the flanking I and XVII Corps were assigned tasks in support of the Canadian Corps. ⇒カナダ軍団の師団砲兵隊の編成は、全体で8個の野戦旅団と2個の重銃砲兵グループであって、手元の仕事に(対応するのには)不十分で、したがって外部からの補強を受けた。4個の重砲兵グループ、9個の野戦旅団、3個の師団砲兵隊グループ、および英国軍第5師団の補充砲兵隊が、カナダ軍団に付加・配属された。そのほかに、第I側面隊の重銃砲兵グループおよび第XVII軍団が、カナダ軍団を支持する仕事を割り当てられた。 >The artillery batteries of I Corps were particularly important because they enfiladed German gun positions behind Vimy Ridge. In total, the British made available to the Canadian Corps twenty-four brigade artillery groups consisting of four hundred and eighty 18 pounder field guns, one hundred thirty-eight 4.5 inch howitzers, ninety-six 2 inch trench mortars, twenty-four 9.45 inch mortars, supported by 245 corps-level siege guns* and heavy mortars. ⇒第I軍団の数個砲兵中隊が特に重要であったが、それというのも、彼らはヴィミー・リッジ背後のドイツ軍の銃砲陣地と向かい合わせに布陣していたからである。全体で、英国軍はカナダ軍団に対して480丁の18型野戦ポンド砲、138門の4.5インチ榴弾砲、96門の2インチ迫撃砲、24門の9.45インチ迫撃砲からなる、24個の旅団砲兵グループを利用可能にした。そしてこれらは、245個軍団レベルの、攻城砲*と重迫撃砲で支えられた。 *siege guns「攻城砲」:要塞や堅固な陣地の攻撃に用いる大口径の大砲。
