Description

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.
