Summary

edit
Description
English: A discarded pile of life belts used by members of the 46th British Division in storming the St Quentin Canal near Bellenglise, which formed part of the Hindenburg Main Line. The men jumped into the water and scrambled up the high brick wall on the farther side. Their brave performance was a strong contributing cause of the German defeat on the Australian front. The enemy left his unbroken Hindenburg Line on the Canal Tunnel, owing to the 46th Division having thus turned it beyond the southern end of the tunnel.
