Trial by Fire: Command and the British Expeditionary Force in 1914 (Contributions in Military Studies) Book

While existing accounts of this period have elevated the exploits of the British soldiers on the battlefield to almost legendary status, the operations of the BEF in the dramatic opening campaign of the First World War remain poorly understood. Based on official unit war diaries, as well as personal papers and memoirs of numerous officers, this study sheds significant new light on the retreat from Mons in August 1914, the advance to the River Aisne in September, and the climactic First Battle of Ypres in October and November. In addition, Gardner provides important insights into the ideas and values of British officers in the initial stages of the war.Read More
