Agnicourt-et-Séchelles consists of two parcels of land joined by a narrow neck with both portions straddling the Highway D58 between Tavaux-et-Pontséricourt and Montcornet.
The inhabitants of Anchamps, like all communes from the Barony of Montcornet had to pay annual manorial dues which was two hens for each citizen; 18 deniers for the rights of the people; for the use of the river water for crushing (there used to be a crushing mill) 3 livres and 5 sols; 2 Paris sols and 6 eels for fishing the Meuse; 2 sols and 6 deniers per swathe of meadow; and 9 deniers per arpent of occupied land.
Around 16:00, De Gaulle ordered a new attack on Montcornet, but the tank crews having not received detailed maps of the sector, and coming under fire from 88mm Flak guns, the offensive was unfruitful.
