Robert Dunlop Posted 29 August , 2004 Share Posted 29 August , 2004 I picked up a copy of 'To the Last Ridge' (ISBN 1 875989 65 X) while in Australia recently. Downing mentions this action, though he was more involved in the capture of Peronne I think. Mont St Quentin was a great triumph for the Australian Corps.

Andrew P Posted 31 August , 2004 Share Posted 31 August , 2004 I think it was General Rawlinson who called the capture of Mont St Quentin one of the finest feats in the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
