"A busy scene on the Canadian Front during the attack on Cambrai, September 1918" or "Canadian troops advancing towards Cambrai". There are German prisoners sitting on a slope watching them march by. The troops are on horseback with wagons so they are possibly from a Divisional Ammunition Supply train. DND Photo 0.3354.

The Battle of Cambrai, 1918 (also known as the Second Battle of Cambrai) was a battle between troops of the British First, Third and Fourth Armies and German Empire forces during the Hundred Days Offensive of the First World War. The battle took place in and around the French city of Cambrai, between 8 and 10 October 1918. The battle incorporated many of the newer tactics of 1918, in particular tanks, meaning that the attack was an overwhelming success with light casualties in an extremely short amount of time. Although the capture of Cambrai was achieved significantly sooner than expected, German resistance northeast of the town stiffened, slowing the advance and forcing the Canadian Corps to dig in.
