Book Description
Over 200 divisions fought on the Western Front during the first year of World War I and those best suited to the challenges of trench warfare were the six infantry divisions of the original British Expeditionary Force (BEF). Their superiority was partially due to the high quality of the divisions' personnel and the first-class equipment provided to them. This book describes the organization and equipment of the BEF at the outbreak of the war in 1914, and relates how its structure changed both to accommodate the waves of Territorial and New Army units that were raised and to adapt to the rigours of conditions on the Western Front.

Book Description
Edward Gleichen commanded the 15th Infantry Brigade during the tumultous opening battles of the Great War. The division was mobilised by 10 August 1914, and fought in the opening battles at Mons, Le Cateau and the Marne. The 15th Infantry Brigade was a regular formation tht comprised four battalions from Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Dorset and Cheshire.??Detailed accounts by battlefield commanders from 1914 are surprisingly rare. This long out of print account of the actions of the British Expeditionary Force, which was first published in 1917, was based on a diary of events written at the time by Brigadier General Edward Gleichen. It originally appeared under the title The Doings of the Fifteenth Infantry Brigade - August 1914 to March 1915.??This volume is much more than a brigade diary, providing the reader with a detailed and privileged insight into the problems of command during the confused actions in Flanders and France from the perspective of the men who?helped to forge the legend of the Old Comtemptables.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Undying Story: The Work of the British Expeditionary Force on the Continent From Mons, August 23rd, 1914, to Ypres, Nov, 15th 1914 Until a few weeks before I started my periodical - "T.P.'s Journal of Great Deeds of the Great War" - Mr. Douglas Newton was unknown to me personally; but I had made his spiritual acquaintance many months before. For I had read a story of his, called "War"; and in common with its many other readers, I was immensely struck with the vividness, the inspiration even, with which Mr. Douglas Newton was able to give a picture of what war really means. There was in this book a singular combination of realistic and even small details - sometimes as petty as the pettiest things of daily life - and the ever-present horror and sinister splendour of the battlefield. When I read this book I knew that I had found the man who could best write a story of battle. And so I was fortunate enough to obtain his co-operation in my new Journal. His articles in that Journal have already attained their celebrity; for there was no feature in the new paper which attracted such attention and admiration. Week after week he traced the march of our splendid soldiers through disaster and through victory, through painful retreat and through rushing advance.
