The Battle of Mont St Quentin Peronne 1918
Beaten Down By Blood: The Battle of Mont St Quentin Peronne 1918 charts an extraordinary journey from the trenches facing Mont St Quentin on the 31 August 1918 through the frenetic phases of the battle until the final objectives are taken on 5 September.
This is the story, often told in the words of the men themselves, of the capture of the 'unattackable' Mont and the 'invincible' fortress town of Perrone, two of the great feats of the Australian forces in the First World War.
