Excerpt from With the British on the Somme Because of this knowledge, or In spite Of it, no s1ngle deputy Of the German socialist group present at the conference could be persuaded to vote for a motion in favour of international, peace, though the discussion was purely abstract and academic. The pacifists themselves believed that the world could not compete with Krupp and the lesser Krupps in war as in peace, and had definitely, if not always consciously, accepted the policy of an aggressive war. They felt no doubt that a quick and thorough victory would follow and would ensue the paradise of world dominance. The prospect was too fair to reject. Even the best succumbed to the enticement of the dream. When August came the socialists in the Reichstag cheered the Chancellor to the echo. All the world that loved peace could do nothing else but fight a people Of such a mood and temper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Battles of the Somme In this book I have put together the articles which I have written day by day for more than three months, since that first day of July, 1916, when hundreds of thousands of British troops rose out of the ditches held against the enemy for nearly two years of trench warfare, advanced over open country upon the most formidable system of defences ever organised by great armies, and began a series of battles as fierce and bloody as anything the old earth has seen on such a stretch of ground since the beginning of human strife. Before July I I had an idea of writing a book about all that I had seen for nearly eighteen months, since I abandoned the hazardous game of a free lance in the war-zones of France and Belgium (to me those were the great and wonderful days) and became officially accredited as a correspondent with the British armies in the field. I had seen a good deal in the trenches and behind the lines - nearly all there was to see - of stationary warfare from Ypres to the Somme, and enough to understand with every nerve in my body not only the abomination of this doom which put fine sensitive men into dirty mudholes and sinister ruins, in exile from the comforts and beauty and decency of life, under the continual menace of death or mutilation, but also the valour of great numbers of simple souls who hated it all and yet endured it with a queer gaiety, and laughed even while they cursed its beastliness, and resigned themselves to its worst miseries like Christian martyrs with a taste for beer and the pictures of the "vie parisienne."

Excerpt from The Germans on the Somme But the months passed, and Verdun still held out above piles of German corpses on its slopes, . And in June Germany looked East and saw a great menace. The Russian offensive was becoming violent. German generals on the Russian fronts sent desperate messages for help. Send us more men they said and from the Western front four divisions containing 39 battalions were sent to them. They must have been sent grudgingly, for now another menace threatened the enemy, and it was on the Western side. The British Armies were getting ready to strike. In spite of Verdun, France still had men enough - withdrawn from a part of the line in which they had been relieved by the British - to co-operate in a new attack. It was our offensive that the German Command feared most, for they had no exact knowledge of our strength or of the quality of our new troops. They knew that our Army had grown prodigiously since the assault on Loos, ' nearly a year before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Battle of the Somme A moment before the whistles blew, in the morning of July 1, 1916, when the Battle of the Somme began, the No Man's Land, into which our men advanced, was a strip of earth without life, made smoky, dusty, and dim by explosions which came out of the air upon it, and left black, curling, slowly fading, dust and smoke-devils behind them. Into this smoke and dust and dimness, made intenser by the stillness of the blue summer morning, came suddenly the run of many thousands of men at the point of death. Not less than twenty thousand men clambered up the parapet at that instant. They tripped and tore through the wire, already in lanes, and went on to their fronts, into the darkness of death, cheering each other with cries that could be heard above the roaring and the crashing of the battle. On the instant, before all the men were out of the trenches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Somme, Vol. 1: The First Battle of the Somme, 1916 1917; Albert, Bapaume, Peronne The objectives of the franco-british offensive were, to regam the initiative of the military operations; to relieve Verdun: to immobilise the largest possible number of German divisions on the western front, and prevent their transfer to other sectors to wear down the fighting strength of the numerous enemy divisions which would be brought up to the front of attack. Thanks to the immense effort made by the entire British Empire, their army had considerably increased in men and material, and was now in a position to undertake a powerful Offensive.

Excerpt from The Battle of Somme Roman highroads are the chief landmarks. At the lift of country between Somme and Ancre copses patch the Slopes, and sometimes a church spire is seen above the trees from some woodland hamlet. The Somme winds in a broad valley between chalk bluffs, faithfully dogged by a canal - a curious river which strains, like the Oxus, through matted rushy isles, and is sometimes a lake and sometimes an expanse of swamp. The Ancre is such a stream as may be found in Wiltshire, with good trout in its pools. On a hot midsummer day the slopes are ablaze with yellow mustard, red poppies, and blue cornflowers; and to one coming from the lush flats of Flanders, or the black country of the Pas de Calais, or the dreary levels of Champagne, or the strange melancholy Verdun hills, this land wears a habitable and cheerful air, as if remote from the Oppression of war.

Excerpt from The British Campaign in France and Flanders, 1915 In the previous volume of this work. Which dealt with the doings of the British Army in France and Flanders during the year 1914. L ventured to claim that a great deal of it was not only accurate but that it was very precisely correct in its detail. This claim has been made good. For although many military critics and many distinguished soldiers have read it there has been no instance up to date of any serious correction. Emboldened by this I am now put x forward an account of the doings of 1915, which will be equally detailed and, as I hope, equally accurate.
