It was a very British victory, but this tour will also help you understand why: by late 1918 the British Army was the most proficient combined-arms battlefield force in the world, bigger and better than it has ever been, before or since. Over this period, the BEF captured 188,700 prisoners and 2,840 guns – just 7,800 prisoners and 935 guns less than those taken by the French, Belgian and American armies combined. Each one a victory, leaving the Germans punch drunk, while also facing a revolution back in the Fatherland. The Allies, led by the British Expeditionary Force, made the final push, in a series of battles along the Western Front. Description The end was finally in sight, for those who had soldiered their way through The Great War.
