As I know the likes of Taz hang on every word I write; here are those figures for the final months of WW1:
As you no doubt know yourself; the British captured 188,700 POW & 2840 guns. The French US and Belgians combined took 196,700 POW & 3775 guns.
We used to have an anual firepower demo at Puckapunyal in Victoria, which I was involved in many a time. After the armour, arty and infantry had strutted their stuff, Ronnie RAAF used to come in and obliterate a hill or two. On one occasion in 1988 they had an attached USAF F111 crew who bombed a hill 2km NE of the target hill - a bit of a worry as spectators were in the open 3km south of the target hill. I will always remember the words of the officer on the PA - "No wonder Gadaffi is still alive."
Cheers to all my fans.
