This little scrape in the ground represents the high water mark of the German Spring offensives of 1918. It's a shallow trench cut into the forward positions at Moreuil Woods where the German Offensives were partially stopped by the Canadian Lord Strathcona's Horse. #Archaeology #WW1

Dec. 7, 1925: A Frenchwoman and three British men are arrested in Paris as spies for London. Marthe Moreuil, 24, was allegedly recruited to dig up secrets on French military aviation. The case stirs a sensation and threatens to drive a wedge between the WWI allies. 1/3

Postpartum hemorrhage is a significant risk for many women yet the etiology is not well understood. New study from Claire de Moreuil shows that plasma from PPH have a different fibrin network than controls.

A reminder, folks, that Great War battlefields can still be dangerous. Exploding ordnance has injured a construction worker as he dug in a car park at Moreuil, SE of Amiens this morning. #FWW

I'm looking for expert interviewees to talk about Gordon Flowerdew, who earned the Victoria Cross in what many have called the "last Canadian cavalry charge," the Battle of Moreuil Wood on March 30, 1918.

Today, we commemorate the Battle of Moreuil Wood, a hard-fought victory in 1918 that helped halt the German advance.

The bravery and sacrifice of Canadians who fought in WWI live on in the country we share today. Lest we forget.

Coming just a week after the signing of the Locarno Treaties on European cooperation, the spy affair embarrasses the British. London makes denials that the spies worked for them, which aren’t believed. Moreuil draws a 6-month jail term while the men get 2 to 3 years each. 3/3

The well-dressed Moreuil—a former model dubbed “France’s Mata Hari” in the press—confesses the U.K. agents paid her to visit French air bases and factories to obtain intelligence on their capabilities. She had even qualified as a parachutist to gain access to the sites. 2/3

Called The Last Great Cavalry Charge, the advance of the Canadians unnerved the Germans who did not capture Moreuil Wood and instead retreated. Flowerdew was fatally wounded in the charge but was told of the success of the charge before he passed away.

On March 31, 1918 he led his troops into Moreuil Wood where the Germans were attempting to cross the L'Avre River. They rode into five German infantry companies and an artillery battery and more than half of Flowerdew's men were killed in the charge.

Aujourd’hui, nous commémorons la bataille du bois de Moreuil, une victoire de 1918 qui a contribué à freiner l’avancée allemande.

Le courage et le sacrifice des Canadiens de la Première Guerre mondiale continuent de marquer notre pays. N’oublions jamais.

Canadian cavalry has, with a daring charge, checked the German advance at Moreuil, near Amiens, but at enormous loss: two-thirds of the attacking riders have been killed or wounded, including their commander, Gordon Flowerdew.

Honoured last week to attend a commemoration of the Battle of Moreuil Wood: a pivotal 1918 victory that helped halt the German advance in WWI. The courage and sacrifice of Canada’s soldiers continue to shape who we are as a nation. Lest we forget. 🍁
