from Canadas Hundred Days The Battle of Cambrai · host John Frederick Bligh Livesay

Join us for Part Three of the gripping saga of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the tumultuous final 100 days of the First World War. After nearly four years of grueling trench warfare, the Allied Forces launched a bold plan to breach the German Hindenburg Line and reclaim territory. This episode focuses on the Canadians pivotal role in the Battle of Cambrai, as they advance from Amiens (Part One) and Arras (Part Two) to confront the enemy. The series culminates in the relentless pursuit of German forces from Valenciennes to Mons, the site where the war began on August 4, 1914, leading to the armistice on November 11, 1918. (Summary by Richard Laughton.)
