		The British maintained strong pressure on their front throughout the year; but British attacks on the Messines Ridge (7 June), at Ypres (31 July), and at Cambrai (20 November) failed in their main objective—the capture of German submarine bases—and took a severe toll of British fighting strength.

		The Ariete and Italian artillery repulse the British at Sidra and Aslagh ridges.
		The British are now just as exhausted and the Italian XX Corps maul the New Zealanders, thanks mostly to Italian artillery and mines which destroy 86 of the XXII Armoured Brigade's 97 Valentines and 120 New Zealand anti-tank guns.

		Northward, again, the X Corps (32nd and 36th Divisions) penetrated some distance into the German lines, portions of the 36th Ulster Division even to Grandcourt, but the supports could not get forward, the advanced parties were cut off, and at nightfall only small fractions of the German front trenches near Thièpval remained in British hands.
		It reveals that in the north the X Corps made a deep penetration, although the Ulstermen were forced to relinquish the ground later because of the repulse of the troops on their flanks.
		The French XX Corps next to it was, as a corollary, also constrained to inactivity, but south of the Somme the French captured the German second line and the high ground overlooking Péronne.

		Overall, I found Ghost Corps (which until this time I had only heard of the 10th AD being referred to the Ghost Division, and no such nickname bestowed on XX Corps) account to be disjointed, inaccurate, and a very poor attempt to document the gallant efforts of XX Corps.
		The second reason Prefer wrote "Patton's Ghost Corps" was to honor the men of the XX Corps, especially the 94th Infantry Division and the many other units which took part in the engagement.* Lieutenant Colonel Keith E. Bonn, in his foreword to the book, makes this point for the author.
		The story of the XX Corps in these campaigns is really the story of the 94th Infantry Division which attacked and fought off counterattacks by veteran German units until, assisted by the 10th Armored Division, they captured Trier, a key city to Germany's defenses.

		With XXX Corps on his right, XIII Corps on his left and 7th Armoured Division (the Desert Rats) to the fore as a lure, he held Ruweisat Ridge and allowed his left wing to be pressed back towards a series of strong, new positions facing south, of which the key was Alam Halfa Ridge.
		Originally, this had conceived of a simultaneous attack by XXX Corps in the north and XIII Corps in the south, which were to break into the Axis positions and clearcorridors for the armour of X Corps to exploit; the tanks would then sever the enemy's hostile lines of communication.
		It was the only great land battle won by the British and Commonwealth forces without direct American participation and, together with the German surrender at Stalingrad in February, 1943, it marked the turning point of the war.

		Allenby took a gamble on Bulfin and placed him at the head of XXI Corps, where he worked effectively alongside the dashing cavalry commander Sir Philip Chetwode and his XX Corps.
		Working together with Chetwode under Allenby's leadership the British successfully secured the fall of Jerusalem (by Christmas 1917, as required by Prime Minister Lloyd George) and in demolishing Ottoman power in the region the following year - already much dented in terms of prestige with the loss of Jerusalem.
