| Zusammenfassung: | "It is no exaggeration to claim that 46th North Midland Division s action on 29 September 1918 was the hammer blow that shattered the will of the German High Command. Painting the strategic picture from early 1918 and the dark weeks following the German s March offensive, the Author lays the ground for the Allied counter-strike. Ahead of them was the mighty Hindenburg Line, the Kaiser s formidable defensive obstacle given added strength by the St Quentin Canal. Undaunted the Allies attacked using American, Australian and British formations. Led by Major General Boyd, 46 Division stormed the Canal and, thanks to a combination of sound planning and determined courageous fighting, seized their Hindenburg Line objective by the end of the day. The psychological damage to the German will, already weakened by the failure of the Spring offensive, is demonstrate by Ludendorff s collapse and opening of negotiations that led five weeks later to the Armistice."--Publisher description |

I was not surprised ... at the decision to remove me
from the War Office’ Field Marshal Lord Robertson,
on the events of February 1918
There can be no question of going back a single step
further. We must show . . . that any further attacks on the
Hindenburg Line will be utterly broken, and that that line
is an impregnable rampart.’ Order by Ludendorjf 1918
The dead of the 5th Leicestershire Regt were lying with
their rifles and bayonets still with them and with all
wounds in front.’ War Diary, 5th Bn
Leicestershire Regiment
The inexperience of the Americans and the losses
amongst their front-line officers both further contributed
to their eventual, and it must be said, rapid disorganization.’
Dale Blair, The Battle of Bellicourt Tunnel
Major General G.F. Boyd had a most attractive
personality . . . When the 46th Division was placed
in his hands he seized it as an expert swordsman seizes
a priceless blade . . .with it he would leap to victory.
And he did.’ John Milne, 4th Battalion
The Leicestershire Regiment
The Division has been given the important and honourable
task of forcing the Canal, breaking the Hindenburg Line
and leading the IX Corps through, joining hands with the
Americans coming from the NORTH. I am more than
confident that you will all be equal to the occasion and win
through.’ Major General G.F Boyd, commanding
46th Division, 28 September 1918
vi The Battle That Won the War
Chapter 7
Chapter 8
Chapter 9
‘If the great Napoleon had been in Major-General Boyd’s
boots on September 29th, 1918, he could not have handled the
46th Division more successfully.’ John Milne, 4th Battalion
The Leicestershire Regiment 87
‘My Dear Mama and Papa, I am going to take part in a
very big battle. I hope to get out OK, and that my luck
holds good, and I acquit myself well.’ Captain
Harvard Thomas, 8th Battalion Sherwood Foresters,
27 September 1918 107
‘Only about 140 stretcher cases came through, mostly
carried by Germans . . . Buck (C of E Chaplain Leicesters)
was killed.’ Canon EH. Drinkwater, Roman
Catholic Chaplain 46th Division 117
Chapter 10 ‘At Div HQ_I heard the candid opinion of Sir J. Monash
on their [the Americans’] prowess. Never have I heard
such an elegant flow of language in the Army or out.
He called them all the names under the sun — nothing
was too bad for them7 Arthur Marshall, Royal Engineers,
46th Division 129
Chapter 11 ‘Here’ said Foch, ‘here is the immediate result of the
British piercing the Hindenburg Line. The enemy
has asked for an armistice’. Conversation between
Haig and Foch, 6 October 1918
Chapter 12 ‘Our Brigade Commander gave us a speech in a
quiet spell, patting us on the back. “You boys have
made history,” he said, “your deed today will never be
forgotten.” I wonder.’ Corporal Parker; 8th Battalion
Sherwood Foresters.
