Om denne e-boken

A detailed history of actions of six units of the British Army in and out of battle during the 1914 Campaign of World War I.

The book concentrates on the British Expeditionary Force’s defensive actions during the retreat from Mons through to the advance to the River Aisne and the first days of trench warfare. Then moved north to Ypres, where it endured three long weeks of German attacks. By compiling information from the Official History and the printed histories we get an in-depth British account of each large battle and minor action.

Together the narrative and over sixty maps provide an insight into the British Army’s experience during those early days of the First World War. This is about the men who made a difference, the men who fought off many times their number, those who led the counterattacks and those who were awarded the Victoria Cross. Discover the real 1914 campaign fought by the British Army and learn how the brave soldiers of the BEF fought hard to achieve their objectives.
