21 August-2 September: The Second Battle of the Somme—Instead of reinforcing the offensive around Amiens, which had ground to a halt as supplies lines were stretched & the Germans had brought up reinforcements, the Entente's Anglophones (British, Canadian, Australian, & American) attacked around Albert, pushing the Germans back to the "Hindenburg Line" (the Siegfriedstellung).
Lest we forget.
