| Abstract: | The fact of victory did not make for a more appreciative relationship. This paper examines three case studies where one nation forgot or never appreciated the other’s contribution. Two of these are military, one from the period of the German offensives in the first half of 1918 and one from the Allied counteroffensives. The third concerns logistics. By way of conclusion, the paper suggests that geography—the fact of being invaded and occupied as against being an island—lay at the heart of the failures to appreciate the other’s contribution. |
