Battle of Cold Harbor (1864)
On the American Civil War map as “Cold Harbor”
3 Jun 1864 — A frontal assault against entrenchments costs several thousand men in under an hour. Grant later said this was the attack he most regretted. The armies move south to Petersburg and dig in, creating a trench war that anticipates the Western Front fifty years later.
