El Alemein

[John McGillivray]

I think that the only time that the Australians and the Canadians were teamed up on the same battlefield, was on August 8th, 1918, at the Battle of Amiens in the First World War. Both the Canadian and Australians Corps attacked side by side and blew a great big hole through the German lines and started the run towards the end of the Great War. Naturally most of the History books give all of the credit to the British tanks, even thought most of them did not even cross the start line. It was called the "blackest day" for the German Army.
