Machine guns firing overhead, artillery shells raining down, drowning out the hellish screams of soldiers as they gasp for their last breath. Boys, not quite old enough to be men, lay lifeless in the barb-wired filled No Man’s Land. Long gone are the days of traditional warfare. There is no honour, no glory there are only two things that remain: life and death. The scene in World War 1 was one of gruesome battles of attrition fought in bloody, disease ridden trenches where hundreds of thousands of

Valenciennes is flat land, while the south (Mont Houy) and the east is higher ground. The north-east and south-west Valenciennes were flooded including Scheldt Canal, which was covered in barbed wire to protect the Germans. Knowing this, Lieutenant-General Currie and the British Generals had the British Corps take Mont Houy then the Canadian Corps would capture the city.
