We now know about Gallipoli 1915, The Somme 1916, and Passchendaele 1917 – but 1918? Largely a blank - except somehow the war ended. Yet the Division was central to the halting of the German’s March-April Spring Offensive, the stabilising of the line in May-June, and spearheading the August-November 100 Days Offensive. And the casualties were as heavy as ever in this horrendous war.
