#OTD in 1918 the Battle of Moreuil Wood took place. The battle occurred on March 30, 1918 on the banks of the Arve River in France, which saw the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), as part of the Canadian Cavalry Brigade, headed by Lieutenant (Lt) Gordon Flowerdew, force the withdrawal of the 23rd German Division from Moreuil Wood. Lt Flowerdew led his 100-man squadron on a charge that defeated a superior German force of 300 men supported by machine guns. This victory, however, came at a great price as Lt Flowerdew was wounded and 24 of his troops were killed in battle. He later died from the wounds he received that day and was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his leadership
