On 8 August 1918, British and Imperial forces in co-operation with the French, launched a major attack against the Germans astride the River Somme, east of the city of Amiens. The stunning achievement on the first day of this battle was the beginning of the period known as the ‘Hundred Days’ (8 August – 11 November 1918) in which the battlefield successes of the armies of Britain, France, the United States and their allies finally forced Germany to sue for an armistice, which eventually led to the end of the war.
