Aussie? Really?

Yeah. The Canadians attacked Vimy Ridge and the Australians attacked further south after General Birdwood heard about the Canadian successes. Unfortunately, the 12 Mk1 tanks they asked for got "lost" and only one was actually effective. Once they broke through the (sometimes 30m) thick barbed wire, the Germans utilised Ludendorff's defensive tactics, leaving the Aussies cut off and raked by machine gun fire from pillboxes in the (much further back) second line.
