To that consideration every other has been subordinated. By identifying so far as possible the actual battle position of individual battalions it is hoped to stimulate local pride and interest in their respective territorial or recruiting areas. Difficulties were here encountered, both through absence Of detailed Oflicial narratives and limitations of space, but if full justice has not been done each fighting unit, it is not from lack of application and goodwill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shock Army of the British Empire presents a critical analysis of Canadian Corps operations during the 100 Days of Victory during the First World War. The 100 Days campaign of 1918, from the attack at Amiens, 8 August to the triumphant return to Mons, 11 November, was a remarkable turnaround from the near defeat suffered by the British and Allied forces in the spring and summer at the hands of the German Kaiserschlacht. As part of the largest British Army ever assembled, the Canadian Corps under Lt Gen Sir Arthur Currie spearheaded the Allied advance to victory. Author Shane Schreiber describes how the Canadian Corps managed to turn a tactical victory into a continuous string of consecutive successes in a sustained campaign. The story of the 100 Days is one of ferocious fighting and loss amid the victory, accounting for nearly 20% of all Canadian casualties during the war. This study examines the operational, tactical and organizational innovations used by the Canadian Corps during the campaign and their far-reaching effects. It reveals critical lessons for both soldiers and scholars alike about the nature of the Great War and about future high-intensity conflicts in general.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's Triumph From Amiens to Mons: August to November 1918 It was a clear night on the 7th. From out a velvet sky the stars looked down on the hosts waiting to go into battle at the first ush of dawn along a twenty mile battle front that stretched from the river Avre to the Ancre. In the territory to the rear supplies were stored ready to go forward the next day; dressing stations and hospitals were prepared to receive the inevitable victims of a clash of fighting bodies. Before the zero hour the infantry all along the front moved up close to the Hun line. The French were on the right of the Canadians, the Australians on the left. Our right ank was on the amiens-roye road and our left on the amiens-chaulnes Railway. At precisely on the morning of the 8th the Allied artillery crashed out in a united roar. Though the Canadians' guns had been in position for three days not a shot had been fired. Unwarned, the enemy remained unsuspicious. The gunners relied on getting results from calculations made from carefully prepared maps drafted on information obtained by the intelligence staff. This was a new departure in gunnery and proved an unqualified success. All the firing was done without previous registration by actual fire.

Download or read book The Greatest Victory written by J. L. Granatstein and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Canadians come to lead these mobile, well-coordinated, and hard-hitting attacks? The preparations were intense, according to Granatstein, ranging from individual training to massive corps-wide exercises; careful analysis of "lessons learned" studies; expansion of the role of signallers, gunners and engineers; and perfection of techniques like the "creeping barrage." The "fire and movement" philosophy emphasized by Sir Arthur Currie, Commander of the Canadian Corps, increased the use of tanks, machine guns, Stokes mortars, and phosphorus bombs, among other military hardware. Mobility was the key; Canadians used their two Motor Machine Brigades - with guns and mortars mounted on armoured cars and trucks - with great effect. Granatstein is an award-winning historian who has received six honorary degrees for his work on conflict and Canadian history.
