THE BATTLE OF AMIENS, FRANCE
The five Australian Divisions moved forward across a twenty kilometre front between Albert and Villers-Bretonneux, a front that had been designed to protect the strategically important city of Amiens. The Germans were soon pushed back and were on the run leading German General Ludendorff to call it the ‘Black Day’ for the German army.
