	First World War.com - Primary Documents - Sir Douglas Haig's 5th Despatch (Cambrai Operations), 20 February 1918
		West of the Canal de l'Escaut infantry of the 29th Division and dismounted regiments of the Ist and 5th Cavalry Divisions; including the Ambala Brigade, were heavily engaged throughout the day in Noyelles, and beat off all attacks in continuous fighting.
		There is evidence that German divisions intended for the Italian theatre were diverted to the Cambrai front, and it is probable that the further concentration of German forces against Italy was suspended for at least two week's at a most critical period, when our Allies were making their first stand on the Piave Line.
		This bold and ambitious plan was foiled on the greater part of our front by the splendid defence of the British divisions engaged; and, though the defence broke down for a time in one area, the recovery made by the weak forces still left and those within immediate reach is worthy of the highest praise.

	Bradford, R B, youngest Brigadier-General in British Army, short biography
		A demonstration of the invention of Lieutenant R.B. Bradford (2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry) for the protection of troops on the march against discovery by aircraft was given before Brigadier-General Heath C.B., and other officers at Colchester.
		At the beginning of November 1917 Bradford was promoted Brigadier-General to command the 186th Brigade of the 62nd (West Riding) Division, becoming at the age of twenty-five the youngest General in the British Army.
		Though General Bradford has been so short a time in command of the 186th Brigade, the exploits of that brigade in their wonderful advance on the 20th November and succeeding days will ever be associated with his name, no less than will the fighting and consolidation in Bourlon Wood.
