The Battle of Morval, 25–28 September 1916, was an attack during the Battle of the Somme by the British Fourth Army on the villages of Morval, Gueudecourt and Lesboeufs held by the German 1st Army, which had been the final objectives of the Battle of Flers-Courcelette (15–22 September).
The village was assigned as the major objective of the Canadian Corps during that battle and they succeeded in capturing it.
On 16/17 February 1917 north of Courcelette, France, Lance-Sergeant Palmer assumed command of his company when all his officers had become casualties.
Its objective was to occupy a chain of trenches between Martinpuich and Courcelette.
