The Battle of Amiens (1918)
In 1917, the Canadians form a group of soldiers fighting on the Western Front and became the attack troop of the British Army. Microsoft Encarta Reference Library stated that "Many Canadians -- including William "Billy" Bishop, Raymond Collishaw, William Baker, and Don MacLaren -- were among the war's top fighter aces." Soon, with their previous attacks they were able to reconstruct their forces to prepare for the next war. The Battle of Amiens started August 8, 1918. The Germans knew about the front of the British troop which was the Canadians and the Australians. Around Amiens, the Canadian Forces assembled and planned for the attack to the Germans, they went even far to the south of Kemmel to attack the target and studied the terrain by wearing the brand of Australians soldiery. The battle began by the aggressive attacked of the Army formed by the British, Australians and Canadian troops during the dark cloudy sky from north to south. They were able to capture some of the Germans through advanced phases of different battalions. In just over 3 hours, the enemy's front line had been overrun, the Allied forces captured 29,144 prisoners, 338 guns, and liberated 116 towns and villages; Ludendorff called 8 August "the black day of the German army." The battle ended when the Canadians captured the Belgian City of Mons.
