Speedy Advance - Georges Vanier - We were there

Sketch of Church Bell Towers in the Cambrai Area, 1918
Rapid advances meant a greater risk of becoming lost. Every man had to regain his bearings quickly. This set of drawings of church bell towers, likely seen during the operations of September 27 to October 11, 1918, would of course only be helpful if the artillery had left the towers intact.
