The Battle of Le Hamel, a successful engagement launched by the Allies on 4 July 1918, was of itself a small action, but was a necessary precursor to further advances by Sir Henry Rawlinson's Fourth Army on the Western Front.

It was the latest in a series of local actions conducted by the Allies to end in success, and came at a time when the offensive morale of the German army was starting to fall; at the same time the Germans were falling prey to the worldwide influenza pandemic, with severe results in the confined trench environment.
The attack was intended to straighten the salient opposite Rawlinson's British Fourth Army east of Amiens (occupied by Georg von der Marwitz's Second Army) by capturing Le Hamel and its flanking woods. This would remove the danger that subsequent large-scale artillery operations conducted by Rawlinson would suffer exposure to German flanking fire.
The operation was overseen by new Australian commander John Monash and executed by his 4th Division. In planning the action Monash - an advocate of so-called 'peaceful penetration' - made effective use of both massed machine guns and heavy tanks (some 60 of the latter) while ensuring absolute secrecy in planning. He also eschewed the usual tactic of preliminary bombardment, which invariably served only to warn the enemy that an attack was imminent.
The operation was not however exclusively an Australian affair; four U.S. companies, currently training with the Australians, were also drafted in.
When launched on 4th July 1918 with a co-ordinated barrage of tanks, artillery and warplanes, the Australians and Americans found the lines opposite to be only lightly defended, and the attack caught the Germans entirely by surprise.
Both Le Hamel and its woods were easily taken by the Australians and Americans in just 93 minutes, and the German line effectively straightened, the salient removed.
Casualties among the Allies were at the cost of approximately 1,000 men. In turn the Allies captured some 1,500 German prisoners.

Hamel　アメルと読むらしいです。ハーメルでしょうか？

The Battle of Abu Tellul (called the Affair of Abu Tellul by the British Battles Nomenclature Committee) was fought on 14 July 1918 during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of World War I after German and Ottoman Empire forces attacked the British Empire garrison in the Jordan Valley. The valley had been occupied by the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) from February 1918 when Jericho was captured.

⇒1918年7月4日、連合国軍が口火を切った「ル・アメルの戦い」は、それ自体としては小さな戦闘行動であったが、ヘンリー・ローリンソン卿の第4方面軍による西部戦線でのさらなる進軍の先駆けとして必要であった。

⇒（××）　連合国軍が成功を収めたのは、一連の局地的戦闘行動の最後で、その頃になってドイツ軍の攻撃の士気が下がり始めた。同時に、ドイツ軍は世界的なインフルエンザ流行に見舞われて、狭い塹壕環境では深刻な結果を招いていた。
　この攻撃は、アミアン（ゲオルク・フォン・マルヴィッツの第2方面軍に占領されていた）の東側に駐在するローリンソンの英国第4方面軍が、ル・アメルとそれに隣接する森林を攻略して、敵の突出地に突進することを意図していた。これにより、その後のローリンソンの大規模な砲撃作戦が、隣接するドイツ軍からの砲火に晒される危険がなくなるだろうと見られた。

⇒この作戦行動は、オーストラリア軍の新しい司令官ジョン・モナッシュが取り仕切り、彼の第４師団が遂行した。モナッシュの行動計画 ―いわゆる「平和な浸透」を提唱している― では、大量の機関銃と重戦車（約60台）の両方を有効に活用しながら、計画の絶対的な秘密を確保した。彼はまた、通常の予備攻撃戦術をさし控えていたが、これは、もっぱら、攻撃がさし迫っていることを警告するのに計り知れないほど役立った。

⇒この作戦行動は、しかし、オーストラリア軍の独壇場というわけではなかった。その時オーストラリア軍とともに訓練していた米国軍の4個師団も駆り出されたのである。　戦車、砲兵、戦闘機などの、（両軍で相互に）調整した集中砲火が始まった1918年7月4日、オーストラリア軍とアメリカ軍は敵側の戦線防備が軽微であることを発見し、丸々ドイツ軍に急襲攻撃を食らわせた。　ル・アメルとその森は、93分でオーストラリア軍と米国軍に簡単に奪取され、ドイツ軍の戦線は事実上平定され、突出地は取り除かれた。　連合国軍の間の死傷者は、およそ1,000人の損失であった。それと引き換えに、連合国軍は約1,500人のドイツ軍捕虜を捕獲した。
