| Additional information |
The Battle of Hamel, fought on 4 July 1918, was a meticulously planned set-piece assault commanded by Australian General John Monash that overran German positions near Villers-Bretonneux in just 93 minutes — well under the two-hour supply drop schedule. Monash's insistence on coordinating infantry, tanks, artillery, and aircraft as a single system made it a tactical template studied by Allied commanders for the remainder of the war.
The 2018 date marks the centenary of the action.
