Hill 70 - A Look Inside...Victory Forgotten

A Look Inside...Victory Forgotten

Today we'll be taking an inside look at one of the first publications of the Hill 70 Project. Victory Forgotten, by Dr. Robert Engen tells the story of the battle of Hill 70 piece by piece.

Each infantry battalion's actions are broken down, the corps' role is described, and images and details about each battallion's formation patches provide a colourful story. The honours and perpetuations of each battalion are described as well.
