About This Book

This volume offers a chronological, operational account of British military operations in north-eastern France and Flanders during the late-war Allied offensives. It traces opening actions, major attacks such as Amiens and the rupture of the Hindenburg Line, the drive across the Selle and Canal du Nord, and the progressive advance by multiple armies and Dominion divisions. The narrative combines corps- and division-level descriptions, coordination with Allied contingents, tactical episodes of assault and counter-attack, and observations on morale and logistics, supported throughout by maps, plans, an appendix, and an index that follow the campaign to the armistice.

About the Author

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle was a British author and physician, best known for creating the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. His first Holmes story, "A Study in Scarlet," introduced readers to the brilliant detective and his companion Dr. John Watson, setting the stage for a series of tales that would captivate audiences worldwide. Beyond the detective genre, Doyle wrote historical novels, science fiction, and plays, showcasing his versatility as a writer. His works often reflect his interests in spiritualism and adventure, as seen in titles like "The Lost World" and "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Doyle's contributions to literature have left a lasting legacy, making him a significant figure in the literary heritage of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
