Ninety four years ago in April/May 1917 the battles raged east of Arras. The cover image (IWM ref Q6228) of British troops boarding buses at Arras after returning from the capture of Monchy-le-Preux was used on the covers of "Cheerful Sacrifice" by Jonathan Nicholls published in 1990 and "Lancashire's Forgotten Heroes" by Stephen Barker and Christopher Boardman published in 1990. A brief outline of the battles inside togetjer with a tribute to one soldier from Kirkby Lonsdale servicing with the Honourable Artillery Company who fell as the battle ended. Also inside is an account of the commemoration of the Canadian Memorial on Vimy Ridge in 1936 seen through the eyes of a schoolboy who was there, and much more including a tribute to Mike Sherrington (Page 26).
