CHAPTER ELEVEN

A DAY OF RECKONING

Some of the English divisions had been badly broken and we passed a number of derelicts who regarded us with a sort of unwilling admiration, as men going up to do the impossible … It makes one feel proud to be an Australian to see our boys after all this passing through a village singing. They are magnificent and wherever they go they inspire confidence, both in the Tommies and in the French civilians.1

Captain Francis Fairweather of the 10th Brigade in a letter home, 4 April 1918
