Desmond7 Posted 13 October , 2004 Share Posted 13 October , 2004 Try Battle of the Selle 17-25 October 1918. 2 Munsters achieved complete surprise and took all objectives. Check out 50th Division history. Plus mentions in Tom Johstone's 'Orange Green and Khaki.' Come back for more pointers if needed. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted 13 October , 2004 Share Posted 13 October , 2004 Battle of the Selle 17 - 25/10/18 Divisions engaged. 4,49,51,5,37,42,17,21,33,38,Guards,2,3,62,19,61,1,6,46,18,25,50,66,NZ There is not much in Pitt's 1918-the last act or in Twenty Years After by Swinton. Official History may be worth a loook. Aye Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
