Shaking The Pedestal. General Sir John Monash and the Battle of Hamel, 4th July 1918

This action was one of the last before Amiens. So, although plenty of people would consider it to be really part of the Hundred Days, it actually preceded it. That said, Monash himself claimed that the battle was "free from any kind of hitch". Clayton looks at this and disproves it on the basis that both the planning and the execution were far from perfect. Nevertheless, there is much to commend in the conduct of the battle, and it did point the way the overall campaign would pan out so soon after the date of this engagement.
