The central objective assigned to Lance Corporal Blake and Lance Corporal Schofield involves delivering a critical message to a British battalion poised to launch an attack. This communication is intended to prevent a planned offensive deemed to be a fatal trap orchestrated by the German army.
The significance of this undertaking lies in its potential to save the lives of approximately sixteen hundred soldiers. Success hinges on overcoming formidable obstacles, traversing enemy-held territory, and reaching the targeted battalion in time to avert a catastrophic outcome. The operation is of vital strategic and humanitarian importance.
