September 7, 1918: The Advance of the Canadian Army on the Cambrai Road This evocative image captures the determination and courage of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) as they press forward on the Cambrai Road during the final stages of the First World War. The date, September 7, 1918, marks a pivotal moment in the war as the Allied forces, led by the British and Canadian forces, launched a successful offensive against the German army in the Hundred Days Offensive. At the forefront of the advance is Gunner Vivian John Cummings (313870), born on July 31, 1875. A member of the 3rd Canadian Division, Cummings and his comrades were part of the 1st Great Regiments, which included the Royal Canadian Regiment, the Canadian Grenadier Guards, and the Canadian Scottish Regiment. The topographical drawing, created by a military artist, provides a unique perspective of the battlefield, with the winding Cambrai Road leading into the distance, flanked by trees and fields. The advancing troops, with their weapons at the ready, are focused on their objective, leaving behind a trail of smoke and debris. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Canadian soldiers during the First World War, as they fought to secure victory for the Allied forces. Gunner Cummings and his comrades, like countless others, bravely advanced along the Cambrai Road, leaving an indelible mark on military history.
