The Battle of Amiens begins as Canadian, British, Australian, and French troops advance across No Man's Land and through the German defences. By nightfall the Canadians have advanced 11 kilometers; they capture 5,033 prisoners and 161 guns for 3,839 casualties. Four Victoria Crosses are also won today.
