True Blue History - Australian Imperial Forces 1917 - The Western Front
The Western Front in 1917 was a place of grim statistics and bitter fighting for the AIF. The Allied and the German armies were locked in a fierce struggle for supremacy which saw both sides suffer heavy casualty losses. While some of the battles that occurred during this year are well known by Australians, others have been slower to achieve widespread recognition. At home, the true cost of the War was becoming painfully clear. By the end of 1917, despite the bravery and sacrifice of the troops, victory still appeared to be a distant possibility.
