Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 1: First Part; To the Close of the Seven Years' War Maps and plans have been a matter of extreme difficulty, owing to the inaccuracy of the old surveys and the disappearance of such fugitive features as marsh and forest. I have followed contemporary plans wherever I could in fixing the dispositions of troops, but in many cases I should have preferred to have presented the reader with a map of the ground only, and left him to fill in the troops for himself from the description in the text. Blocks of red and blue are pleasing indeed to the eye, but it is always a question whether their facility for misleading does not exceed their utility for guidance. Actual visits to many of the battlefields of the Low Countries, with the maps of so recent a writer as Coxe in my hand, did not encourage me in my belief in the system, although, in deference to the vast majority of my advisers I have pursued it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Army Book for the British Empire: A Record of the Development and Present Composition of the Military Forces and Their Duties in Peace and War The purpose of the Army Book is to give to all its readers a comprehensive knowledge of the British army and military system. With this object in view, a certain amount of what is history must be introduced; not, however, as a main feature, but in order to give the reader a grasp of the ante cedents of the army, of the experiences gained in war, and of the effect of these antecedents and experiences on the action of the statesmen who have been concerned in establishing the system in force. Similarly, in the several chapters on the components of the army - infantry; cavalry, &c., what is historical in them will, it is thought, better conduce to the understanding of the spirit and best traditions of the arm concerned. Matter of controversy has been unavoidable, but beyond the sincere endeavour to represent adequately the intention animating the measures of reform on which the army system is based, no attempt at controversy has been made nor is needed.

I have tried merely to tell a story, and therefore omitted much that might have been said regarding the noble work the Queen's Army h'as done. As regards the opinions advanced, I have always, as far as possible, given the reasons for my views and the authorities which induced me to form them. I have adhered to the principle of using the old regi mental numbers, for the sake of continuity; though, after the date when these were altered, I have, in most cases, added their present territorial titles.

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 Great Britain's Part: Observations of an American Visitor to the British Army in France at the Beginning of the Third Year of the War HE following observations I were prepared for the New York Times, in which they first appeared. I have acquiesced in the sug gestion that they be published, in the hope that they may aid a few Americans to a better appreciation of the greatness of England's achievements in the Euro pean War. I instinctively hesitate to write about France, because her appeal to the sympathy and admiration of the civilized world is so direct and dramatic that no words of mine seem adequate for the telling of her story. I cannot help feeling that with England the case is different. The British people and press have so liberally exercised the English man's inalienable right to abuse the gov ernment that we in America often hear v.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Story of the War: From the Beginning of the War to the Landing of the British Army in France One Sunday afternoon, in the month Of December 1908, the beautiful city Of Messina was all life and light and gaiety. The sky was blue and cloudless, and out in the Strait the little, crested waves leaped and sparkled in the sunshine. The squares and gardens were thronged with townsfolk in holiday attire; laughing groups of young men and maidens went to and fro or paused to listen to the band; fathers of families were romping with their children on the grass; mothers were quietly knitting hard by: all was merry as a marriage bell. Happy, careless ease reigned everywhere, and when night fell, the big, round moon shone upon a silent town in which thousands of people were wrapped in peaceful slumber.

When Davis wrote his story about this youth with the scar - his last story, called "The Deserter," which appeared in the September number of the Metropolitan Magazine - we were all in so much doubt whether the one scar was honorable or not that Davis did not even mention the scar in what he wrote.
