Low morale existed in British as well as German units and special arrangements were made to collect "stragglers" at brigade and divisional posts, where soldiers names were to be taken, before being rearmed and equipped with items taken from wounded troops in Advanced Dressing Stations.
The Épine de Malassise (Malassise Spine), a hog's-back (a long narrow-rested ridge with slopes of nearly equal steepness) overlooks Bouchavesnes and the Moislains valley towards Nurlu. The objective of the attack was to capture the north end of the spine to deny the Germans observation of the valley behind Bouchavesnes and the view towards Rancourt. Two trenches on a front of 1,200 yards (1,100 m) were to be captured to the east and north-east of the village, which would also threaten the German positions north of Péronne, potentially hastening any German withdrawal on the Somme front.

⇒士気の低下はドイツ軍部隊だけでなく英国軍の中にも存在した。それで、次のような特別な準備がなされた。旅団や師団の哨戒陣地に「落伍者」を集めて兵役階級名を取り消してから再武装し、前線救護所に入院している負傷兵からとられる身分条項を付与したのである。

⇒「豚の背」（ほとんど等しい傾斜をもつ長く狭い尾根）と言われるエピン・ド・マラスィス（マラスィス脊梁山脈）は、ニュルリュの方向にブシャヴズヌやモアズレーン渓谷を見下ろしている。攻撃の目的は、ドイツ軍によるブシャヴズヌの背後の渓谷の観察やランクール方向への視界をさえぎるために、その尾根の北端を捕えることであった。村の東と北東方向1,200ヤード（1,100m）先の前線にある、2本の塹壕も占領されることになっていた。それは、ペロンヌ北のドイツ軍陣地を脅かし、ソンム前線へのドイツ軍の撤退を幾分なりと早める可能性もあるだろう。
