The Final 100 Days: October 7, 1918 - Preparing for Cambrai

The Canadian Corps prepared themselves for the assault on Cambrai. 

The 1st Canadian Division shifted to the north, temporarily falling under the command of the British 22nd Corps. By now, the Canadians had essentially encircled Cambrai, save for a brief gap on the eastern edge of the city. 

The 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions continued to hold the line. To the south, the British 3rd Army had failed to capture their objectives, stalling the Cambrai campaign.
