About this listen

 In Part Four of this riveting series, we delve into the remarkable actions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the last 100 days of the First World War. After nearly four years of grueling trench warfare, the Allied Forces devised a bold plan to break through the German Hindenburg Line and drive the enemy from their entrenched positions. Join us as we follow the CEFs journey from the pivotal battles of Amiens (Part I), Arras (Part II), and Cambrai (Part III) to their relentless pursuit of German forces from Valenciennes to Mons in Belgium—marking the end of the war on November 11, 1918, in the very place where it all began on August 4, 1914.
