Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Generals of the British Army The part of their story that is concerned in this war is memorable, and may we not say it, memorably fine P For these are not the leaders of that vast host whose shadow has hung over Europe for so many years, whose numbers and efficiency have been the evil dream of the international situation but of that small contingent that, for an ideal, took the field light-heartedly, against the vast German horde. Even the Belgian army was more numerous than the Expeditionary Force that struck its first blow before Mons and these leaders have memories of the days when it was the equal in nothing, save undaunted courage and tactical ability, of the army in whose path it stood. They have seen every type of fighting. The war of movements with its swift changes and long hazards was their first experience, an experience that none of those who took part in it will ever forget. For some terrible days the British army stood between the Allies and disaster but the experience it bought was handed on to the enemy in a series of engagements, the lesson of which he softens by proclaiming the first seven divisions to have been unique. The admission is sufficientlyfighting ability from the tide which threatened to overwhelm them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Army From Within At the best, there is much in the work that a soldier is called on to do which is beyond his under standing, in the first years Of his service. One consequence Of this is that he learns to do things without questioning their meaning, and thus acquires a habit Of obeying; this, up to a few years ago, was the Object Of military training to instil into the soldier unquestioning Obedience to orders, and the sentence Obedience is the first duty Of the soldier, gained currency and labelled the soldier as a mere cog in a great machine, one whose duty lay in obeying as did that Roman sentinel at Pompeu. One Of the chief lessons Of the South African war, however, was that such Obedience was no longer the first duty Of the soldier; he must Obey, no less than before, but scientific warfare demands an understanding Obedience, and not the unquestioning, die-at-his post fidelity of Old time. The recruit Of to-day must be taught not only to Obey, but to understand, and by that fact the work Of his instructors, and his own work as well, are largely increased.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Most Eminent British Military Commanders, Vol. 2 Had the plan proposed by the English general been adopted, French Flanders and Brabant would have become at once the seat of war; but to a measure so hold the states would by no means consent. They had set their hearts upon the reduction of Bonn; and to gratify them, Marlborough gave up with a good grace his own well-matured opinions. By the middle of April, after leaving an adequate force to cover Liege, he was in full march towards the point Of attack; on the 3d Of May the trenches were opened, and on the 1 5th the place was surrendered by Capitulation. All this occurred ere Villeroi could well believe that the allies were in a condition to set even upon the defensive. But no sooner was he made fully aware of his error, than he hastened to retrieve it, by pressing vigorously upon Over. Kill: and the corps which protected Liege. Marlbo rough, however, was not slow in coming to the assistance of his colleague. Without so much as waiting to receive the submission of the governor of Bonn, he contented himself with signing the convention, and hurried back to Maestricht, at a convent in the vicinity of which he fixed, on the 17th, his head-quarters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Record of the British Army: Prepared for Publication Under the Direction of the Adjutant-General; The Eighty-Eight Regiment of Foot; Or, Connaught Rangers Tm: character and credit of the British Army must chieﬂy depend upon the zeal and ardour, by which all who enter into its service are animated, and consequently it is of the highest importance that any measure calculated to excite the spirit of emulation, by which alone great and gallant actions are achieved, should be adopted. Nothing can more fully tend to the accomplishment of this desirable object, than a full display of the noble deeds with which the Military History of our country abounds. To hold forth these bright examples to the imitation of the youthful soldier, and thus to incite him to emulate the meritorious conduct of those who have preceded him in their honourable career, are among the motives that have given rise to the present publication.

Born at Cawnpore, India, in September, 1832, his first scenes of active service were those of the Indian Mutiny, where he gained brilliant distinction, notably at the Siege of Delhi, and Relief of Lucknow. He went through the Abyssinian Expedition of 1867-8, and later commanded our forces in the Afghan War, 1879-80. It was during the latter cam paign that he gained such fame for the bravery and resource exhibited on the memorable march from Cabul to Kandahar, and the relief of Kandahar on September lst, 1880. From 1885 to 1893, he was appointed commander-ia-chief in India, and afterwards to the command of the forces in Ireland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon as a General, Vol. 1 Dear Captain James, I Have read with interest the list you have sent me of the military works to be published as "The Wolseley Series." The subjects are wisely chosen, and the authors will be generally accepted as soldiers who are competent to express valuable opinions upon them. I am much flattered by having my name associated with an undertaking that is designed to improve the professional knowledge of our officers, and I rejoice to feel that under your able editorship its success is assured. In some instances I see you are not only editor but also translator, for which duty, if you will allow me to say so, your intimate knowledge of the German idiom eminently qualifies you. I hope the officers of her Majesty's army may never degenerate into bookworms. There is happily at present no tendency in that direction, for I am glad to say that this generation is as fond of danger, adventure, and all manly out-of-door sports as its forefathers were. At the same time, all now recognize that the officer who has not studied war as an applied science, and who is ignorant of modern military history, is of little use beyond the rank of Captain. The principle of selection, pure and simple, is gradually being applied to the promotion of all officers, especially in the higher grades. As years go on this system will be more and more rigidly enforced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the first place the volumes are so gigantic, heavy and unwieldy, that it is difficult to read them com fortably in any attitude. In the second, many of the documents before the Council (as is plain from internal evidence) have not been transcribed at all, while others have been copied two or three times over. In the third the transcripts have not been checked, and contain many corrupt passages which cost me much trouble to emend. In the fourth, many of the clerks wrote vile hands, and occasionally one of the idler among them has filled up his exhausted ink-pot with water instead of ink, and has left writing so faint that it can only be read with much suffering to the eyes. In the fifth, there is no index, and, though the volumes are numbered, the pages are not, so that it is impossible to give an accurate reference to them. In the sixth.
