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.
