Bloody Bullecourt by David Coombes
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 19MB
Overview: n April-May 1917 the sleepy hamlet of Bullecourt in Northern France became the focus of two battles involving British and Australian troops. Given the unique place in Australia’s military history that both battles occupy, surprisingly little has been written on the AIF’s achievements at Bullecourt. Bloody Bullecourt seeks to remedy this gasping omission.
The First Battle of Bullecourt marked the Australians’ introduction to the latest battlefield weapon the tank. This much-lauded weapon failed dismally amid enormous casualties. Despite this, two infantry brigades from the 4th Australian Division captured parts of the formidable Hindenberg Line with minimal artillery and tank support, repulsing German counterattacks until forced to withdraw.
