Battles and Engagements France and
Flanders 1918
The dates given for the battles listed
below are the dates of the duration of the battle. Units would not have
fought in the larger battles for the whole of the time, but they may
have been engaged several times. To get back to this page from the Divisions
page use your Back Button.
The French, American and Portuguese units
mentioned on this page are for information only, it is not my intention
to include the order of battle for any of these countries' armies, they
have been included because in most cases they were either under British/Empire
control or had British/Empire units attached to them.
