About This Book
A commanding officer offers a candid memoir and operational history of the Australian Corps during the closing campaigns on the Western Front, describing how it was organized into a cohesive formation and the strategic and tactical thinking that shaped each engagement. The narrative reconstructs major set-piece attacks and ensuing pursuits, explains coordination of infantry, artillery and tanks, and recounts day-to-day decisions made under changing circumstances. Maps, photographs and appendices support discussions of planning, logistics, breaches of fortified lines, exploitation of gains and the measured assessment of results and casualties.
