Show Notes
Regarded by many historians as one of Australia's finest feats on the Western Front, the Battle of Mont St Quentin was part of the Allied counter-offensive against the Germans during the last months of the war. In a fierce struggle of attack and counter-attack, the Australian achieved an important strategic victory that stunned the Allied leaders. Battlefield historian Mat McLachlan shares his unique insights about the Battle and how the men were able to claim victory over a key part of the German's defence before the Hindenburg Line.
