An account of the operations of the Australian Corps in 1918 by its
commander who took over from Birdwood in May of that year, thus
becoming the first Australian commander of the Corps. The Corps
came into existence officially as 1917 passed into 1918, but it
wasn't till August, the Battle of Amiens and the beginning of the
last 100 days, that all five Australian divisions went into battle
for the first time as a united Corps, which it remained for the
rest of the war. Like his Canadian counterpart, Currie, he was only
a member of the militia or part-time soldier before the war, but he
went on to become one of the outstanding senior commanders.
