LeeEnfield Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 British Army capture Bourlon Wood, three miles from Cambrai. (The Cambrai offensive started on 20 nov, withRFC aircraft dropping bombs on known german guns and strongpoints, on a 10 mile front, between the river scarpe and St Quentin. This was the first use of massed tanks. The attack was suscessful, but could not be supported, so ultimatly failed; Over 8,000 german prisoners were captured.)
