The Third Army was a part of the British Army during World War I. ==First World War == The Third Army was part of the British Army during World War I and was formed in France on 13 July 1915.〔(The British Armies of 1914-1918 )〕 During August 1915 the Third Army took over trench line south of the French Tenth Army, which had to keep in position for the upcoming autumn offensive. This made the Third Army geographically separate from the other British Armies for the time being.〔Holmes 2004, p294〕 This remained the case until early 1916, when Tenth Army was redeployed because of French losses at Verdun and the British Fourth Army was formed. The battles it took part in on the Western Front included: *Battle of the Somme *Battle of Cambrai *Second Battle of Arras (April 1917) *Battle of Passchendale〔Burton, Pierre, ''Marching as to war'', 2001, Toronto〕 *Battle of Amiens (August 1918) *Hundred Days Offensive 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Third Army (United Kingdom)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
