Prelude to Amiens

Amiens, that was the greatest battle of the whole war. That was the beginning of the end. The Last Hundred Days, yeah. It was the most secret, offensive of the whole war. All the moving was done at night. We left Arras in the middle of the night, boarded a train and went away down, we were wondering the next morning where the hell we were going, you know. We had maps. We were trying to trace where the railway line was going. There was just one little line that we missed, that’s the one that took us down to Amiens, isn’t it.
