Description

The Hundred Days Offensive (August-November 1918).
From August 1918 onwards, a rapid series of Allied victories eventually led to the Armistice: this was the Hundred Days Offensive. For some British soldiers it meant a return to Mons, to the very place where the war had begun for them.
