This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes 56 original illustrations and a map of the area. Our anonymous author was part of the 6th Poona Division, Indian Army, the first of the British Empire’s forces to be deployed to Mesopotamia during the First World War. Fighting and marching through sweltering temperatures forced much inactivity on the British and Indian troops as much as their Turkish and Arab opponents. The author in his irreverent style remarked: “From 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. it was hot. From 9 a.m. to 12 damned hot. From 12 to 5.30 much too damned hot.” The campaigning seasons in this part of the world were hot, difficult and fraught with ambush and disease. Black Tab’s struggles and travails as he marches with his comrades to the relief of Kut are punctuated with witty asides, and amusing vignettes, maintaining spirits in the face of adversity. An interesting memoir from an often forgotten campaign.

Book Synopsis The Desert Campaigns [Illustrated Edition] by : William Thomas Massey
Download or read book The Desert Campaigns [Illustrated Edition] written by William Thomas Massey and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes more than 20 illustrations by James McBey and the World War One In The Desert Illustration Pack- 115 photos/illustrations and 19 maps spanning the Desert campaigns 1914-1918 “Written by the foremost accredited London newspaper journalist in the Middle East during the Great War, William Massey covered the war in the Middle East as it was fought against the Ottoman Turkish Empire, its German ally and the tribes of the region who supported them. He was aware of the hardships suffered by the British and Colonial troops serving in the difficult climate and later became a champion of those who fought there. He writes of the complete conflict from the battles in the western desert with the Senussi to Aleppo and beyond to the borders of Turkey.”-Print Edition “Mr. Massey, who was the official correspondent with our forces, was moved to write this highly interesting account of the campaigns in Egypt on being told by a colleague on the Western Front that the Army in Egypt should " come to. France to see what war is." He shows that the British, Australian, New Zealand, and South African troops in Eastern and Western Egypt had a very arduous experience of war, and that the battle of Romani in August, 1916, was a hard-fought and decisive victory, in which the Turks lost nearly half their strength. At first we were content to hold the line of the Canal, Leaving the Desert to the Turks. But this defensive policy involved grave risks. Mr. Massey reminds us that the Turks repeatedly tried to lay mines in the Canal, and once succeeded in damaging a ship, so that traffic was delayed for half-a-day. The true policy, afterwards adopted, of holding a line far to the east of the Canal, and then of clearing the Turks out of Sinai altogether, meant very hard work for the Army and the Labour Corps, but was completely successful. Mr. Massey describes at the close the remarkable little operations against the Senussi in Western Egypt.”-review in The Spectator 24th May 1918
Book Synopsis T. E. Lawrence: Theorist And Campaign Planner [Illustrated Edition] by : Major Lawrence W Moores
Download or read book T. E. Lawrence: Theorist And Campaign Planner [Illustrated Edition] written by Major Lawrence W Moores and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes World War One In The Desert Illustration Pack- 115 photos/illustrations and 19 maps spanning the Desert campaigns 1914-1918. This monograph analyzes T.E. Lawrence as a military theorist and campaign planner. It investigates whether Lawrence’s development of his own theory of war assisted him in planning the Arab campaign during World War I. The monograph focuses in four areas. The first section discusses the historical background of Lawrence and the Arab revolt. This section establishes the basis for Lawrence’s understanding of war and of the theater of operations. In addition, it identifies the aims of the Arab revolt and why Arab actions were important to the Allied cause. The second section focuses on Lawrence’s theory of war. This section explains his theory and how he developed it. The third section deals with how Lawrence’s theory addressed the Arab’s ends (desired end state for the war), means (use of the resources available), and ways (the method for employing the means to attain the ends). In a fourth and concluding section. The monograph proposes that T. E. Lawrence’s development of a theory of war did assist him in planning the Arab campaign during World War I. Lawrence’s theory of war accomplished two functions. First. it clarified the past, what had happened in the Arab revolt to that point. Secondly, it helped Lawrence anticipate the future. A future that came to fruition because of Lawrence’s ability to transcend his role as a theorist. Using his theory as a basis, Lawrence carried his rational approach to war into the development of an operational concept, the "war of detachment" and a fighting doctrine to fulfill it. With these means in hand, Lawrence devised a way to employ them. Logically, the way Lawrence devised was a campaign plan designed in accordance with his theory.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes World War One In The Desert Illustration Pack- 92 photos/illustrations and 19 maps spanning the Desert campaigns 1914-1918 “This book, published in 1919, was compiled from the edited diary entries kept by Down while serving in Palestine with the 14th Black Watch (74th Dismounted Yeomanry Division). “In November 1917 Down took a draft of soldiers from France to Palestine and himself joined the 14th Black Watch Battalion, part of the forces advancing through Palestine against the Turks. “Jerusalem had been captured but the fighting continued through difficult and mountainous countryside and in often very poor weather conditions. The battalion was predominantly involved in road making (pp. 61; 79) and support duties until the spring of 1918 when they went into the front line where Down was wounded in April. His entries continue in the bright witty style of the letters - though perhaps with a little less sparkle - and he describes entertainingly the soldiers view of the Holy Land. He is much impressed by the beauty of the countryside but has little complimentary to say of the people (p. 52) or of the Turkish soldiers they encounter (p. 83) “He concludes this volume with a description of Cairo and Alexandria where he was sent for treatment and convalescence and finally with his return to the BEF in France in June 1918.”-IWM
Book Synopsis Allenby’s Final Triumph [Illustrated Edition] by : William Thomas Massey
Download or read book Allenby’s Final Triumph [Illustrated Edition] written by William Thomas Massey and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes the World War One In The Desert Illustration Pack- 115 photos/illustrations and 19 maps spanning the Desert campaigns 1914-1918 THIS narrative, it is hoped, will serve to remove the impression which prevails among a not inconsiderable section of the British public that the Army commanded and handled with such consummate skill by Lord Allenby in Palestine had a comparatively simple task... In 1918 General Allenby had to contend with enormous difficulties. He was faced with the problem of having to arrange his operations so as to fit in with the calls made upon him to reinforce the Western Front. At a time when the Turkish moral was still good, he had to send to France the bulk of his veteran British infantry when they were in the highest state of efficiency, and, with new Indian troops in their place, he had to build up another army. In these pages I have tried to show how, while increasing the power of his fresh troops, he forced down the fighting capacity of his enemy, and then, when by a most ably worked out scheme of camouflage he had concealed scores of thousands of men and horses at the place of attack, he launched his host against an army whose moral he had reduced to a low level. By employing a magnificent body of cavalry he gave another lesson to the armies of the world in the employment of the mounted arm, and, uninfluenced by the desires of London and Paris that this or that should be his aim, his own plans, worked out in his own way, secured far more than War Councils or War Cabinets had any right to expect. The Army’s appreciation of Lord Allenby is correct.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes World War One In The Desert Illustration Pack- 115 photos/illustrations and 19 maps spanning the Desert campaigns 1914-1918. Coalition warfare has been, and will continue to be, a matter of course for the U.S. military. Developing and maintaining coalitions of politically and militarily diverse members is, at its most elemental level, a matter of human relationships--the person-to-person give and take that characterizes all human endeavor. It is often complex, inexact, and tedious, perhaps more art than science. The frustration encountered by policymakers and military professionals alike argues strongly for an earnest examination of the personal characteristics and professional principles used by successful coalition builders, liaisons, and advisors. This paper examines the contributions made by T.E. Lawrence to the art of coalition liaison during his service as the British advisor to the Arabs during World War I. Specifically, it identifies the personal characteristics that helped Lawrence work so effectively with the Arabs, as well as the professional principles that guided his actions as he helped form the coalition of Arab tribes and the alliance between those tribes and Britain.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes World War One In The Desert Illustration Pack- 115 photos/illustrations and 19 maps spanning the Desert campaigns 1914-1918 “Fresh and vivid memoir of an Australian horseman serving in the Palestine campaign. Includes a chapter ‘Working with Lawrence’ on the legendary T.E. Lawrence of Arabia. The author, Brisbane-born Captain Hector Dinning, was an officer in the “Light Horsemen” of the Australian Army in the Great War. He served with his unit in the Palestine campaign, journeying from Cairo in Egypt to Aleppo in Syria, and recounts his experiences in the Middle East. This book will especially interest anyone keen on T.E.. Lawrence ‘of Arabia’. Dinning worked alongside the legendary Colonel and his portrait of him is especially valuable as it was written early (1920) before the legend of Lawrence had taken hold. Written in a direct, forceful and typically Australian style, this memoir will delight anyone interested in Lawrence, the Middle East and the Great War.”-Print Edition
