Description
Acknowledges involvement in the two-pronged attack on Bapaume and St Quentin, as part of the Allied counter-offensives on the Western Front in the late summer of 1918. Launched in the mist of the early morning of 21 August, the advance supported by tanks, made swift inroads into German positions and led to the recapture of Albert.
