21 March-5 April: Operation Michael—The Germans advanced farther, faster than at any other point since 1914, taking thousands of British P.O.W.s & advancing forty miles in some places; the Entente countered with a brilliant tactical choice, surrendering indefensible ground devastated in the Battle of the Somme while reinforcing & successfully defending the vital strategic positions of Amiens & Arras.
Lest we forget.
