VCs of the First World War: The Final Days 1918 - Softcover
Book 11 of 13: VCs of the First World War
Synopsis
This is the latest volume in the series covering the final days of World War I on the Western Front from the Allied Armies being poised to capture the Hindenburg Line to the Armistice on November 11, 1918. The book opens with the stories of seven Victoria Cross (VC) winners who took part in the Battle of the Canal du Nord on September 27, 1918. Despite enemy resistance, the British First and Third Armies advanced six miles, leading eventually to the successful capture of Cambrai. The last period of the war became a series of battles to capture a series of river lines. From the Battle of the Canal du Nord until Armistice Day, a period of just under six weeks, a total of 56 VCs were won in the victorious Allied advance. The VC winners came from France and Canada as well.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Towards the end of September 1918 the Allied armies were poised to seize the Hindenburg Line the end of the war on the Western Front was at last in sight. These final days became a series of battles to capture a number of river lines: as each one was captured by the Allies, the German Army fell back to the next. Despite stiff resistance from the enemy, the Allies slowly advanced. The Germans became increasingly demoralised, and about a quarter of their army surrendered. By the beginning of November the Allies had closed in until they were flanking the Forest of Mormal, surrounding the enemy. On 11 November the Canadian Corps retook Mons and, following the signing of the armistice, the guns finally fell silent at 11 a.m. Covering the six-week period from the Battle of Canal du Nord to Armistice Day, this volume tells the story of the fifty-six VC winners from France, Canada and Britain who fought in the victorious Allied advance. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR010719460
