John Monash

Monash commanded the 3rd Australian Division at the Battle of Broodseinde during the Third Battle of Ypres. His division captured its objectives with relatively low casualties. This was one of the most successful Australian operations of the war, though the overall campaign later bogged down.

Monash planned and commanded the Battle of Hamel, a combined arms assault using infantry, tanks, artillery, and aircraft. The attack succeeded in 93 minutes with minimal casualties. This battle became a model for later Allied offensives and demonstrated Monash's innovative tactical approach.

Monash commanded the Australian Corps at the Battle of Amiens, the opening of the Hundred Days Offensive. His corps advanced over 7 miles on the first day, capturing thousands of prisoners. This battle marked the beginning of the end for the German army on the Western Front.
