Amidst the muddy trenches of World War I, five intrepid Australians of a field artillery brigade march along a duckboard track, their boots thudding softly against the wooden planks. British soldiers, carrying telegraph wires, work diligently nearby, connecting the front lines. An artillery horse, laden with ammunition, trudges along, its hooves barely making a sound. In the distance, the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) snaps a group photo in Northern France, their planes ready for action. Back in Belgium, the city of Liege recovers from the devastating flood of 1910, a stark reminder of the power of nature. Amidst the chaos, the Spirit of our Troops remains excellent, as depicted in the famous cartoon by B. Sain. And then, the unexpected roar of guns from Cambrai 1917, a turning point in the war, echoes across the battlefield.
