Beersheba has already been done |

Hunt for the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau WWII. No? The poll asks about WWI battles. |

No, WWI. A squadron of two German armored cruisers in the south seas. But there is already Coronel and the Falklands listed which were the two battles associated with the hunt so it seems a bit redundant. |

I think it is the hunt for the 8" armed Armoured cruisers SMS Scharnhorst Cay Jacob Arthur Renard – U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph, Photo #: NH 46837; link ("This print was received by the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence on 7 May 1908.")

Pursuit of the Goeben and Breslau. |

The hunt for the Konigsberg |

Actually, the story of the Goeben and her commander, Admiral Souchon, both during the escape to Turkey and later would be quite a fascinating story. Souchon had to dance a fine diplomatic and military line throughout the war. |

Loos, but I expect a later round will include this. |

Goeben and Breslau for the win. Also, where are the Eastern Front battles? The first Austrian attack into Serbia…makes for a great underdog story. The Siege of Prezmesl |

Agree with Cardinal Hawkwood. Beersheba has been done, and done well, no less. |

Cambrai or 1st Marne. Maybe 1st Mons? |

I'd sort of like to see an epic movie about the epic WWI aerial battles over the St. Milieu region in 1918. This was a titanic struggle on the Western Front which is largely overlooked by media and scholarship by and large. Cheers. Rod Robertson. |

What is it about Belleau Wood ? Surely Delville is a much more heroic story? |
