LG Sir John Monash’s Masterpiece: The Battle of Hamel
When Australian Lieutenant-General Sir John Monash was put in charge of almost all of the Australians in France in World War 1, he immediately set about to win a local victory at Le Hamel, but ended up helping all of the Allies win the war. This video goes into detail about Australia’s own John Monash, the architect who saved lives by developing tactics that are still followed today. Even British King George V honoured him for his efforts with a field knighthood, something that hadn’t happened in over 200 years up to that point. How did Monash do this? Watch the video and find out! Note to the viewer: In one part of the video, it’s mentioned that the Mark V tank is faster and the Whippet tank is mentioned right before this. I meant that the Mark V was faster than the Mark IV, not the Whippet tank. Just wanted you to know that in advance!
