Text C: HISTORICAL RECOUNT


(the text taken from Gerot & Wignell (page 243))

The European battlefront was a very different affair from the situation in the
Middle East. Early in April 1917, the 1st Anzac Corps wastransported to that part
or northern France known as Flanders. Here they took over a section of the front,
south east of Armentiers, facing the powerful, well- trained German army. Both
sides were locked together in an endless array of trenches padded with sandbags
and protected by thick belts of barbed wire. The Australians were issued with
British steel helmets and gas masks, for the Germans were using poisonous gas in
their attacks. The first months were fairly quiet. The intermittent artillery and
sniper fire contrasted favourably with the terrible conditions at Gallipoli. The
troops enjoyed better rations, patrolled ‘No Man’s Land’ (the area between the
opposing trenches) freely and watched aerial dogfights for amusement.

Gradually, the raids on both sides increased and the troops came to appreciate
their helmets and gas masks. The enemy raided first on 5 May and a month later an
Australian raiding party, all volunteers, retaliated and succeeded in taking
prisoners. More raids followed but they were nothing compared with the battle
that was to come in July. On the first of that month, the British launched their
tragically famous offensive on the Somme. The battle of the Somme was to
become a series of battles against the Germans in northern France, lasting
severalmonths.
