The Battle of Hill 70 - World War I (Lens, France 1917) First Hand Account From The Western Front

First hand retelling (recorded circa 1979-81) of the Canadian Corps assault on fortified elements of the German 6th Army on Hill 70. The attack was designed by Sir Arthur Currie to recapture the French city of Lens and to force the Germany Army to divert units from reinforcing Ypres.

This is a part of a first hand recounting of World War I. I created this as a contribution to the Remembrance day project video here: https://youtu.be/C9rF5hJH89I
