100 years ago
 

100 years ago on the 4th July for the first time ever Americans fought beside Australians at the Battle of Hamel in France
There were 4 companies of American troops attached to the Australian force under General Monash
This battle was considered the first of a new type of warfare where Infantry , artillery , tanks and aircraft participated in a combined attack against the enemy
The battle lasted approx 90 minutes but the forecast was to be a lot longer
Australia and America have been Mates ever since

Thanks for posting, that is something I never recalled learning in school. To be honest, there is so much history in the world we can only skim over the highlights.

I believe it was the battle of Hamel.

With a mutual interest in Cub Cadets! :biggrin2:

That is correct I had a brain fade whilst typing
