In the spring of 1918, the outcome of the war still hung in the balance and in a bid for victory the Germans launched their massive spring offensive. Thousands of 18-year-old British conscripts had their training cut short and were sent out to France to make up numbers. As the Germans advanced, thousands of Allied troops were taken prisoner to suffer months of hardship at the hands of their captors, but the Germans became the victims of their own success. By advancing too fast, they left their troops exposed and exhausted.Seizing back the initiative, the boys of 1918 helped turn defeat into victory.We hear from those who took part in the fight back as they reveal what it felt like to take prisoners themselves, how they felt when the heard the news the war was over and their memories of the journey home. |
