Another book on the 1914 campaign, surely not. Are there not enough out there already? What does this one tell me that the others do not? Well, some concentrate on the background to the war, others cover the whole campaign, of which the British Army was only a small part, while some concentrate on the personal experiences of the men who fought and died. This one concentrates on the British Expeditionary Forces experiences during the three-month campaign.
It briefly covers the background to how Great Britain became involved in the European war and how it went to war. But the bulk of the narrative is concerned with the battles and what happened in between. It gives equal coverage of all the major battles: Mons, Le Cateau, the Aisne, Ypres, Messines Ridge and those between Armentires and La Basse. It also covers the minor actions on route including Elouges, Le Grand Fayt, Etreux, Villers-Cotterts and Nry. You will also find accounts of the lesser known actions along the Grand Morin, Petit Morin and Marne rivers.
The information came from many sources. The backbone of the narrative was created from the Official History, the two 1914 volumes forming part of the twenty-nine volume series complied by Brigadier General Sir James Edmonds. The first volume of Military Operations: France and Belgium was printed in 1922 and it covers Mons, the Retreat to the River Seine, the River Marne and the battle on the River Aisne; the month-long open warfare campaign. The second volume was published three years later and it covers the siege of Antwerp and the early days of defensive trench warfare at Ypres, Messines, Armentires and La Basse.
