		The Division soon became accustomed to the difficulties of the cross-country movements which later were to form part of their daily existence in combat.
		In the 34th Division sector, which was nearly 15 kilometers wide, the stream was swift and in some places deep enough to cover a man's head, with steep banks overgrown with shrubbery.
		The hills facing the 34th Division's positions were to be used for delaying action to gain time for the finishing touches to be placed on the Gustav Line.

	Contribution from Roger Heller
		The 80th was a new Division, raised in the National Army, further known as the "Blue Ridge Division of Virginia, American Expeditionary Force." With such a designation and in the South many Southerners saw the Division as the logical revival of Virginia forces from the long departed Confederate States of America's Army.
		Thus while the 80th Division was at the Samer Training Area under control of II Corps, the 305th was at Radon where they trained in their supply specialty.
		As a part of 80th Division the 305th from 10 August to 1 September was assigned the Sector "Limey-Marvosin"; French VIII Army, French XXXII Corps, suffering 212 casualties.

	34th Infantry Division • Fondouk Commendation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This being the case, this division must conform to the plan of the high command, attacking, defending, or retiring as we are directed.
		As a result, the 34th was rebuffed with heavy losses in its initial assault, and the British suffered severe casualties in attempting to force the pass.
		The 34th was no better and no worse than our other II Corps divisions, but it was in need of self-confidence, the self-confidence that comes from winning battles and killing Germans.

	US 27th Div; A Yank's View of the Attack on the Hindenburg Line
		In the attack on an impressive static German defensive line the American 27th Division took severe casualties due to inexperience, over enthusiasm, a combination of gas and mist and a lack of support from a creeping barrage and tanks: one Regiment of 2000 rifles had 55% casualties.
		Their platoons and companies possessed, as did ours, a highly developed gang spirit which prompted the members of 'the gang' to work together in mutual support, but in addition to this, and by virtue of their long experience in the war, they had come to realize the essential importance of military technique.
		The operations and the supply technique of the Australian divisions were of the very best, and so it was that the rough-and-ready fighting spirit of the Australians had become refined by an experienced battle technique supported by staff work of the highest order.

	Vimy Ridge 1
		For a view of the Town of Vimy taken in May 1917 from the crest of Vimy Ridge (as well as some other amazing pictures), don't miss taking a look at the photograph to Vimy Ridge on the National Archives site for Canada.
		As of yet I have not found the specific references in the Haig Despatches referring to George Van Wyck Laughton, as mentioned in the London Gazette.
		A map provided with the text also shows the relationship of the 51st Division (British) which bordered the 1st Canadian Division on the north and the 34th British Division on the south, of which the 26th Northumberland Fusiliers were a battalion.
