Canadian memorial of Le Quesnel
The Le Quesnel Memorial is a Canadian war memorial that commemorates the actions of the Canadian Corps during the 1918 Battle of Amiens during World War I.
|
The battle marked the beginning of a 96 days period that saw the crumbling of the German Army and ultimately the Armistice that ended the war. |
|
The location for the memorial was selected as it was the deepest point the Canadians (and indeed any of the Allied armies) had reached at the end of the first day of the Battle of Amiens; 8 miles or 13 kilometres into German-held territory. |
