The collapse of Russia’s resistance during 1917 and the Bolshevik revolution dramatically altered the strategic position allowing the Germans to transfer many troops to the Western Front. Germany launched an all out oensive to grab the initiative before the arrival of the Americans. In the Middle East our troops kept fighting on. At home enthusiasm for the war was at a low point. A negotiated peace was being talked of; any one considered an alien was being openly ostracised; discontent as to who was shouldering the burden surfaced. And young men including some of our own continued to be killed on foreign soils. Don’t let Cromwell’s final local WW100 event pass you by.
