Remarkable Crossing of St Quentin Canal by British Troops
The crossing by a brigade of South Stafford and North Staffordshire troops during the Cambrai advance is hailed as a remarkable war exploit. Descriptions note the canal’s steep banks, dense brush, and the swift, large-scale movement aided by life belts sent from a cross channel steamer, enabling many men to cross before bridges were built.
