| The
Breaking of the Hindenburg Line was a truly multi-national
allied affair. The German defensive position to which
the Germans had withdrawn in March 1917 was known
to them as the Siegfried Line and probably its most
formidable section was that just above St Quentin.
At 0555 hours on 29 September 1918 the British 46th
Division and the American 27th and 30th Divisions
set off behind a creeping barrage to attack the Hindenburg
Line defences along the St Quentin Canal tunnel complex.The
46th Division broke the Line by nightfall and the
Americans, fighting with the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Australian
Divisions did so on the following day.
The
book describes a tour that includes the American Memorial
at Bellicourt, the haunting Riqueval Tunnel and much
more.There is a sketch map, coloured photographs and
detailed travel directions. |
